Thank you for taking time to join in this synodal process of listening, dialogue and communal discernment initiated by Pope Francis.  

The fundamental question that guides this consultation of the People of God is the following: A synodal Church, in announcing the Gospel, 'journeys together:'  How is this journeying together happening today in your particular Church?  What steps does the Spirit invite us to take in order to grow in our ‘journeying together’?

Through this survey we hope to gather the experience, hopes and insights of our Catholic Community at Stanford.

The input from the surveys will be summarized and shared with the entire community.  Further listening and reflection will occur during an in-person town hall meeting on February 16 to which all are invited, followed by a virtual town hall meeting on February 22.  A final report will be developed for the diocese and shared with the CC@S.   

To ensure confidentiality, you may submit your response electronically or mail it to Catholic Community @ Stanford, PO 20301  Stanford, CA  94309. The information will be handled as highly confidential with no reference to the source of any response made in future communications.

Please respond briefly to the following questions:
