Dear CTSA Colleagues
I am thrilled to share great news with you. As you may know, last October and this October, CTSA Vice President Cathy Clifford did serve and is serving as an official delegate to the Synod in Rome. Yesterday I learned that she was elected to serve on the Commission for the Drafting of the Final Document of the XVI Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops. This commission has 14 members, only two of whom are women and Cathy is one of them. Congratulations Cathy on your historic election!! Here is a link announcing the commission.

Also, if you would like to submit a comment to any of the 10 Study Groups, there is still time to do so. In this communique, Cardinal Grech invites all members of the church to make submissions to any of the 10 Study Groups, whose work will extend to at least June 2025:
