In March 2022, our parish held six synodal 
sessions as part of the global synodal process 
being conducted by the worldwide Church in 
2022.  Reports from our parish were submitted 
to the Diocese which, in turn, submitted a report 
to the USCCB, who then submitted their report 
onto the global synod team in the Vatican.  A 
lengthy document has been published by that 
team, which is called the “Working Document 
for the Continental Stage” (DCS).  You can read 
that document in its entirety at the following 
website: 
https://www.synod.va/content/dam/synod/
common/phases/continental-stage/dcs/
Documento-Tappa-Continentale-EN.pdf.  For 
links to the reports on all levels, local, USCCB and 
Vatican, see: www.maryqueenofpeacepgh.org/
synod-2023. 
 
The document is titled “Enlarge the Space of 
Your Tent” and is an amazingly comprehensive 
summary of views expressed by Catholics from 
around the world.  Interestingly, most of the 
views expressed by members of Mary Queen of 
Peace Parish were echoed by many others from 
around the world, and are documented in the 
DCS.
