Some of the comments and suggestions from May 17, 2023:
- We cannot stop here. We need to move forward with action.
- Thanks to everyone for their participation in Wednesday’s (May 17, 2023)
BACAR, Inc. forum. The topic and energy in the breakout rooms was very
enthusiastic. We need to keep the conversation going. What are our next steps
to move this conversation forward? Would you be interested in meeting a couple
of times during the summer months while the BACAR Board takes a
vacation? The next BACAR event will be TBD. If you are interested in
continuing the conversation, please contact Kathy Noether,
knoether@aol.com. Thanks again for your energy and support.- Vatican’s website on the Synod

Thanks Kathy. did any of the BACAR group attend the Synod in person?
No, but on Feb. 29, 2024 we will have Deb Rose who has been intricately involved with the synod. Don’t miss the event. Kathy
