Archdiocese of Los Angeles
Pastoral Letters and Statements of Cardinal Mahony

Synod Proclamation

In this third year of the Third Millennium
In the ninth month of September
In the year of our Lord Jesus Christ, two thousand and three,
Thirty-eight years after the decrees of Vatican Council II,
In the 25th year of the pontificate of John Paul II, Bishop of Rome,
In my 18th year as Archbishop of Los Angeles,
The Synod of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles has been concluded.

With Mary, Our Lady of the Angels, we pray
That through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit
All clergy, religious, and laity be bold in furthering the renewed vision
For our Local Church set forth in the Synod Documents.

Let the Synod Decrees direct the Archdiocesan Pastoral agenda
For the next five years, and be effected
Through the structures and bodies
That I have authorized to implement the Synod.

Praise and glory be to the Divine Trinity.  Amen.

His Eminence Cardinal Roger Mahony
Archbishop of Los Angeles
