Cardinal Hollerich: Deep gratitude to the USG and UISG

On 26 August 2022, a press conference convened by the General Secretariat of the Synod took place to present the Continental Phase of the synodal process 2021-2023.

Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, general rapporteur of the 16th General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, spoke of the syntheses received, which are "the fruits of prayer and reflection that emerged during the synodal experiences".

Speaking about the synthesis received from UISG and the Union of Superiors General, he said:

"The Union of Superiors General and the International Union of Superiors General sent their specific contribution made from the contributions of Religious Congregations (male and female) and Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life (male and female). I express my deep gratitude to these two institutions for their important and generous investment. These communities have a 'synodal' patrimony to offer to the whole Church, and the synodal process has reminded them and has reminded us of it."
