Synod on the Family - last few days to reply to survey

In October 2014 bishops and other delegates from around the world met with Pope Francis in Rome for a special Synod gathering. The theme for discussion was the Pastoral Challenges to the Family in the Context of Evangelisation. A further Synod will take place in October 2015 and the focus then will be on the theme of The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and in the Contemporary World. In this time between these two Synods, our Holy Father has asked us to spend time reflecting on these themes with "true spiritual discernment."
