At the synod on youth, Canada’s Emilie Callan felt she was heard

Pope Francis greets Emilie Callan, right, a synod delegate from Canada, during a session of the Synod of Bishops on young people, the faith and vocational discernment at the Vatican Oct. 11.

The Synod of Bishops on young people is over but Emilie Callan will be unpacking a month full of memories for a long time.

Cancelling youth Synod would be ‘short-sighted’

Emelie Callan will be a youth observer at the upcoming Synod on youth Oct. 3-23. She will join a group of young adults to participate in the synod discussions, but do not have a vote on the final proposals given to the Pope.
