The Third Synod of the Diocese of Fargo will be held April 11-April 13, at Sts. Anne and Joachim Church. The last diocesan synod was held in 1951. Fr. Jasinski and Suellen Dusek will represent St. Benedict Parish, and join Bishop Folda and over 300 other delegates to pray, discuss and plan for the future of the Diocese of Fargo. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will inspire our prayer, preparation, discussions, and bless the Church in our diocese with the outpouring of His grace.
May the Holy Spirit inspire our prayer, preparation, and discussions, and bless the Church in our diocese with the outpouring of His grace.

Additionally, a plenary indulgence is granted a single time to the faithful who devoutly visit Sts. Anne and Joachim during the diocesan synod (Thursday evening – Saturday morning) and there recite an Our Father and the Creed. The usual conditions of detachment from sin, sacramental confession, Eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Holy Father are required to receive the indulgence.
