MILWAUKEE — It was a milestone sermon Sunday morning at the Cathedral of St. John.

Milwaukee’s archbishop, Jerome Listecki, announced the archdiocese’s principles for the next 15 years.

It’s called the Synodal Declaration: the culmination of a spiritual convention that took two years and some 15,000 participants. The Synod measured the pulse of Milwaukee parishioners, and after a summer of scandal and bankruptcy, the Synod wanted to restore the church’s health.

“This is really an archdiocese that has a deep level of faith,” Listecki told TODAY’S TMJ4. “We want to excite it, ignite it, form people by it and evangelize through it.”
