The Roman Synod of Bishops on Families 2015

From October 4 to 25 the 14th. regular synod of Bishops takes place in Rome under the title "The Vocation and Mission of the Familly in the Church and contemporary World". The extraordinary synod of Bishops 2014 last year served as preparation.
All dioceses worldwide are - similar to 2014 - invited, to participate all believers on the opinion formation. Depending on the different dioceses this aim is realized in different approaches.
Some dioceses have compiled a questionnaire based on that one published by the Vatican (see below).
