The sacraments are among the greatest gifts of our Catholic faith. They are moments where we encounter Christ, experience His grace, and become more deeply united as the Body of Christ. Each of us has a story to tell—one shaped by joy, hope, questions, challenges, and moments of profound encounter.
Bishop John Dolan invites you to participate in a Sacramental Listening Session, where your experiences and insights are valued and respected.
Through prayer, conversation, and attentive listening, these gatherings will help us better understand how the Holy Spirit is moving in the lives of God’s people and how our Church can continue to accompany individuals and families with greater compassion and care.
These sessions are not debates or town halls. They are opportunities to pray together, listen deeply, and speak honestly in a spirit of charity and hope.
Everyone.
Whether your experiences with the sacraments have been life-giving, difficult, or somewhere in between, your perspective is valuable. If you are willing to share your story and listen to the experiences of others with an open heart, these listening sessions are for you.
