Walking in Solidarity with those on the Margins: A Report on Listening Sessions held for those in the CCHD Community as part of the 2021-2023 Synod on Synodality

Submitted to USCCB in June 2022 as part of the “Region XVI” contributions, this report is the culmination of a listening process that took place from March to May 2022 with our over 12,000 current and former funded groups, diocesan coordinators and local committees, current and former interns, and lay Catholics involved in CCHD’s work. The unique voices and perspectives heard in this process provide a snapshot into the realities many communities are facing and provide some important insights into how CCHD and the Church at large can better walk alongside our most marginalized brothers and sisters.

We at CCHD would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who took the time to share their feedback with us. Your candid, heartfelt, and vulnerable insights have touched us all and revealed the Holy Spirit at work in our communities and parishes. Please know that CCHD holds with great responsibility the sentiments and recommendations shared with us.
