Conference on the future of the Church, under the patronage of two cardinals

Registration has opened for the event dedicated to fostering dialogue for the renewal of the Catholic Church.

„Synodality is God’s will for the Church of the third millennium” – with this thought from Pope Francis, four organizations have announced the „Synodality in Hungarian” conference, which will take place on March 1, 2025, in the heart of Budapest. The event, hosted by the Sapientia College of Theology, is a joint initiative of the Church2030 and Megújul.hu think tanks, along with the General Secretariat of the Synod. Its aim is to promote reflection on the future of the Church while gaining a deeper understanding of the synodal renewal process.

The main patrons of the event are Cardinals Péter Erdő and László Német.

On the first Saturday of this spring, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the decisions and outcomes of the XVI. Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, as well as the initial experiences of synodal renewal within the Hungarian Church. In addition, participants will engage in the practice of synodality through afternoon group discussions. The event will conclude with a roundtable discussion featuring Hungarian participants of the Synod on Synodality.

The conference will also feature a keynote address by Sister Nathalie Becquart, Undersecretary of the General Secretariat of the Synod, visiting Hungary from the Vatican.

The conference is open to all, free of charge, but registration is required. Registration is available from January 6 to February 10 via this link.
