August 2014 You’re Invited! . Archbishop Greg Aymond and Fr. Mike Kettenring invite you to the Ninth General Synod of the Archdiocese of New Orleans. A Synod is simply a gathering of people reflecting on a topic, then sharing their ideas. Visitation of Our Lady Parish will host the West Bank session of the Synod on Thursday, August 21 at 6:30 pm in Padre Hall II. Everyone on the West Bank is invited to attend. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and comments (verbally or in writing.) Archbishop Aymond will listen to participants, and the Synod Leadership Team will be taking notes. Participants will also have an opportunity to complete surveys which will be collected at the end of the Synod and reviewed by the Archbishop and Synod Leadership Team. Light refreshments will be served. Come and share your thoughts and suggestions about what the Archdiocese is doing well and what it can do better.
