Preaching the word of God is one of the main tasks of the Catholic Church. In order for the clergy to be able to fulfil this task assigned by Christ well, they should listen to the needs and voices of the believers entrusted to their pastoral care. The development of homiletics requires constant improvement and searching for some new ways of preaching the Word of God in the modern world, and the synod on synodality initiated by Pope Francis is a very good tool in the Church for making preaching activities better. The aim of the article is to analyse the statements of the people of the Archdiocese of Katowice referring to the preaching of the Word of God. It requires firstly the discussion of the course of the synodal process and then the analysis of the synodal statements, which will allow to formulate the necessary conclusions and postulates.
