“So I have a meeting at the Vatican…”

That’s how this week’s episode begins — as members of the Diocese of Camden’s leadership reflect on their pilgrimage to Rome from Oct. 23–28 for the Jubilee of Synodal Teams and Participatory Bodies at the Vatican.

Joining us to share stories from this extraordinary experience are most of the delegation that included: Bishop Joseph Williams, Father Jon Thomas, Vicar General, and the Diocese’s seven secretaries — Andrés Arango (Evangelization and Hispanic Ministry), Dr. Maria Elena Hallion (Catholic Charities of South Jersey), Nicole Keefer (VITALity Catholic Healthcare Services), Laura Montgomery (Administration and Finance), Donna Ottaviano-Britt (Discipleship and Leadership), Michael Walsh (Communication), and Dr. Bill Watson (Catholic Education).

Hear firsthand how the Vatican discussions deepened their understanding of synodality, collaboration, and leadership in the local Church — and what they brought home to South Jersey.
