(Father Arnold Zamora)

September 29, 2023

Dear St. Robert’s parishioners and friends,

When you touch someone's life, it is a privilege.
When you touch someone's heart, it is a blessing
When you touch someone's mind, it is an honor.
When you touch someone's soul, it is a triumph.
When you touch someone's spirit, it is a miracle.

Have a blessed day!
-Fr. Arnold


Synod

2021 thru 2023

What is a synod?

A synod is a council of the Church, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine, administration or application. The word synod is from the Greek sinodos (s???d??) meaning “assembly” or “meeting” and is similar to the Latin concilium meaning “council”. Sometimes the phrase “general synod” or “general council” refers to an ecumenical council, like the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
