LET US PRAY & ENGAGE

LOVING FATHER,

Open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change

so that I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life.

Inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging.

Show me how best to get involved in the life of my parish.

Make our community hungry for the best practices and continuous learning, and help us to realize that we each have a role to play in making our parish a perfect place for imperfect people trying to walk with you.

Amen

~ Matthew Kelly, author of Rediscovering the Saints

Strategic Planning Update (Week 1 Recap)

This past Wednesday, after receiving 97 responses (THANK YOU ALL), the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) came up with the following revised mission statement, which is awaiting approval from the Parish Pastoral Council.

The SPC also reviewed Current Trends in our area. Here are some highlights:

- Mass attendance is almost at pre-COVID levels

- Collections are up. Yippie!

- Our neighborhood is primed for growth and attracting developers

- Our residents are slightly older than the city average, however the neighborhood is attracting more young families.

- There are financially and food insecure brothers and sisters living among us, which we need to further identify and intentionally serve. Partnerships will be key.

- Our community was diverse, decades before 'Diversity & Inclusion' were trending.

Bottom line: WE ARE AWESOME and need to Share our Awesomeness!

CURRENTLY UNDERWWAY:

YOU providing feedback on a Vision of Progress & Future Growth @HolyCross.
