Volunteers

This weekend and next Christine Bresette; our Coordinator of Youth
Ministry will be speaking at our parishes. On the alternate weekend
Leanne Moran will be officially installed as our Pastoral Minister.
Both of these dynamic women are a key part of our Pastoral Team. They
work very hard yet there is so much to be done.
The key strength to our parishes is our volunteers. The goal of our team
is to call forth and support our parishioners in ministry. There are so
many gifts waiting to be shared and I pray we can celebrate these gifts
in our community.
Please open your heart and call upon God's grace to continue its work
within our entire parish community.

From your Pastor

Do you know someone who wants to come home to the Catholic Church, but is struggling with their faith? Maybe you or someone you know has experienced one of these thoughts:

·         I grew up Catholic, but for some reason I just sort of stopped going to Church…

·         I just moved to a new city, I tried going to a couple different parishes, but I never really felt welcomed...

·         After my marriage ended, I felt uncomfortable around my family, friends and parish…

·         I just don't understand why the Church teaches what it does! Some teachings seem so outdated…

·         I tried to contact my parish about getting married but no one got back to me…

 

If you have experienced one of these situations or thoughts you are not alone. The Church wants you to know that you are a child of God, called by name, precious in his eyes and loved by him (Is. 43:1,4). The Church also wants you to know that you are missed. When one member of the Body of Christ suffers, the entire Body of the Church suffers.  As we begin this Year of Faith, let all of us be challenged to grow in our faith and welcome those who are searching.

Last drive in old faithful

Well it is time for change. After many country roads it is time for a change...
