"The Holy Father ... has decided to convene this assembly for autumn 2022 in order to ensure a wider implication of the whole Church in preparation" of the event, the General Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops said. Church engagement with young people was the overarching theme for an ordinary synod in 2018 prior to a special synod last year of bishops in the Amazon region.
