Seminarians from Ghana’s three Major Seminaries of theology, who are having their pastoral experience have concluded their three-day workshop with the pledge to “adopt a synodal approach” in their way of life and ministry now as Seminarians and in future as Priests.
In a statement at the end of their August 27-29 workshop held at St. Gregory the Great Provincial Major Seminary in Parkoso in the Ghana’s Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi, the Seminarians seek the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in realizing their pledges and resolutions.
“We, the Pastoral Year Seminarians of 2024/25 Seminary Year from the three Theological Major Seminaries in Ghana resolve that inspired by the Holy Spirit, we shall adopt a synodal approach in our care for souls as Seminarians now and Priests in the future,” they say.
The Seminarians says they have resolved to embrace “quality listening” as a key component of their synodal commitment and their “modus operandi in every pastoral setting to create a safe environment for all to feel at home.”
In the statement following the workshop organized under the theme, “Synodality and Conversation in the Spirit in Pastoral Settings”, the Ghanaian Seminarians also pledge to create a welcoming and safe environment in all pastoral settings.
