Archdiocese of La Paz inaugurates Synodal Assemblies with a call to personal conversion

The Archdiocese of La Paz began its synodal assemblies on Monday, October 26, at the San Jerónimo Seminary. The meetings, which run through Thursday, October 29, involve 180 participants including priests, religious, and laity. These assemblies aim to determine the direction of pastoral renewal within the archdiocese.

During the inaugural session, participants focused on personal conversion as the foundation for community and structural renewal. Father Ivan Bravo, rector of the Cathedral of Our Lady of La Paz, noted that the assembly discussed conversion as a gradual process of faith rather than a single event. The discussions emphasized the importance of Christian initiation and solid formation in the life of the believer.
