On Tuesday, September 7, 2021, the General Secretariat published the text of the Preparatory Document and the Vademecum to guide the path of the Synod of Bishops, dedicated to the synodality. It will begin on October 9 and 10 in Rome and October 17 in the local Churches, and end in the Vatican in 2023. The Slovenian Bishops' Conference prepared the translations of both documents into the Slovenian language.
