The Diocese of Sindhudurg is blessed with different congregations of religious women who serve in different types of missions; namely, schools, medical missions, and pastoral outreach. Bearing in mind the contributions they can make to the synod 2021-2023, the diocese organised a training session for them at Navsarni Kendra on 6 November 2021.
Bishop Alwyn Barreto, along with Fr Alex D’mello, convener of the synod and Fr Cajetan Rodrigues conducted a training program for religious women who serve in the diocese of Sindhudurg. The sessions comprised talks on the roadmap of the diocesan phase of consultation, synodality, interpretation of the synod and the role of the coordinators and the mode of consultation.
