Parish Synodal Checklist
Drawn from the final document of the Synod of Synodality
This evaluation guide is intended to support the ongoing synodal conversion of the parish and ultimately the Archdiocese. Being a synodal Church on mission requires us to reflect on where we are in order to discern where we must go and how to get there. Parishes are integral to the synodal journey of the Archdiocese, so it is important that each parish take time to reflect on their own journey.
This evaluation guide is based on the actions suggested in the Final Document of the second session of Global Synod on Synodality. Part One is a simple evaluation of parish synodal practices. Part Two offers an in-depth evaluation referencing particular actions named in the Final Document.

Appreciative Visitation with Catholic Schools 2017-18
Prior to the development of Being Church Together, many healthy and vibrant parish-school relationships were noted during visits to Catholic Schools conducted by the Archdiocese of Adelaide in 2017 and 2018. An appreciative listening approach guided interactions with school boards, parents and friends, and staff meetings. This paper highlights practical and creative ways in which schools and parishes build, sustain and repair local relationships. (See Promising Examples of Parish_School Relations v10.pdf)
