A couple of months ago, I told you that we have a significant problem involving a lack of parishioner involvement in our ministries. That situation hasn't changed. We are in considerable need of individuals to assist as: Wedding coordinators, ministers of care, bereavement ministers, Eucharistic ministers, greeters, and much more.
One of the ways that we discern what the Lord is asking us to set aside is if we do not have the resources needed to maintain a ministry. The two most important resources are people and finances. To prevent us from having to make drastic changes to what we can do for our community, the staff has done their best to step in and cover areas that are normally served by parishioners. But that is not sustainable and we are quickly reaching a point where difficult decisions will need to be made.
If you are interested in learning more about or assisting in one of the above areas - or somewhere else - please reach out to me directly at
