Pope Francis has selected Linda Staudt, former Director of Education, as a voting participant at the Synod of Bishops in Rome this October. She was the Director of Education for the LDCSB from 2013-2021.
Pope Francis convened the whole Church in October 2021 to ask how we journey together to proclaim the Gospel. The Synod will determine how we walk together as the people of God, listen to each other and prayerfully explore what steps the Holy Spirit invites us to take in order to grow as a synodal Church.
Staudt is the Diocesan Synod Committee Co-Chair and Director of Safe Environment Services. She also was the Chair and Lead Writer of the Synod Synthesis Team for the Assembly of Catholic Bishops of Ontario and presented the Ontario synthesis to the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in 2022.
