The Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA) are joining other religious congregations in a global call to prayer for the Vatican’s October 2019 Synod, “The Amazon: new paths for the Church and for integral ecology” in Rome. During the Amazon Synod, bishops from around the world will gather to consider the dire ecological needs of the Amazon region and its people.   

All are invited to the Global Tent, a space in which guests can experience stories, images and music of the Pan-Amazon Region. The Global Tent will be located in the St. Rose Convent courtyard and open to the public from Monday, Oct. 7–Sunday, Oct. 27.

The FSPA will host a community-wide prayer service for the opening of the Global Tent today, Oct. 7 at 10 a.m.
