Awake Milwaukee hosted two “Awake Synod Sessions” in June 2022, as part of the global listening initiative of the Catholic Church. We had wonderful conversations with a diverse group of participants, including 46 women and men who have experienced sexual abuse by a Catholic leader. You can find a brief summary of key themes on the Awake blog here; scroll down to access the complete synod report which was submitted to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
