As we work together to achieve the goals set in our 2022-2023 Pastoral Plan, we are happy to report the activities that have occurred to date.
Goal: Enrich Our Faith
As a result of educational opportunities about various ways individuals may offer time and talent in service to our faith community, there will be an increase in the number of parishioners actively serving the parish in a variety of volunteer roles. Together, through a common rootedness in sacrament and service, we will continue the faith enriching mission of Jesus Christ as entrusted to the Church.
Achieve: Parishioners, including our youth, will become more actively involved in service to our faith community.
Goal: Enhance Parish Life
A welcoming environment and the offer of hospitality should be a foundational element of our faith-sharing community. In community we strive to facilitate meaningful relationships, celebrate spiritual milestones, communicate what is going on, give people something to do, and build deeper connections. Following the pandemic years of isolation and fragmentation, we are now striving to renew a vibrant parish life.
As part of our Synod Pastoral Plan a series of staffed “Ask Me” tables were scheduled to provide information about various opportunities to share time and your talents in service to our faith community and the broader community. Together, through a common rootedness in sacrament and service we will continue the faith enriching mission of Jesus Christ as entrusted to the Church.
