About Synod 2026

The 152nd Synod of the Diocese of Niagara gathers clergy and lay delegates to worship God, discern the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and conduct the business of our diocese.

This year’s theme, “From Generation to Generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus,” is drawn from the Church’s doxology inspired by Ephesians 3:21. It reminds us that each generation carries forward the Church’s mission and calls us to encourage, equip, and welcome children, youth, and young adults as full participants in the life of Christ’s Church.

We invite delegates, observers, and all members of the diocesan community to prepare for Synod by reviewing the pre-synod materials and joining us in prayer for our shared work together.
