Heeding the call of Pope Francis to make “a larger number of parish priests enter into the synodal dynamism,” through the initiative of the Filipino delegates to the International Meeting of Parish Priests, the CBCP – Episcopal Commission on Clergy, Episcopal Commission on Evangelization and Catechesis, and the Philippine Conference on New Evangelization is organizing the National Meeting of Parish Priests for the Synod. This event aims to inspire “reflection on the renewal of the ministry of the parish priest in a synodal and missionary light.”
