Good Afternoon,
Welcome to our first "normal" Monthly Update!
A Great Adventure
We were blessed to have His Excellency, Bishop Robert Barron, here to celebrate Mass at 5:15 on Saturday. In his HOMILY he talked about faith as a great adventure. We love it, it goes right along with the visions we have rolled out for ministry to children, youth, and families! If you haven't yet done so please read the LETTER sent out a few weeks ago detailing those visions and take a few minutes to complete the SURVEY so we can get your feedback (both linked below).
Faith Formation Registration
Registration for Faith Formation/Small Groups is now open. We would love to have everybody registered by August 15. More info below (or just register here).
August 27th Catechist Conference (9 am-4 pm, breakfast and lunch included)
We are hosting, for the first time ever, a catechist conference for all our catechists and volunteers (both current and those thinking about becoming a catechist or volunteer). This will be a great way to learn some more skills, learn about what it means to be a catechist/volunteer, pray together, grow in community, etc... More info below.
Peace,
Zach Rawson, Director of Children, Youth, & Family Ministry
Michelle Todd, Coordinator of Children's Ministry
Anna Nordquist, Coordinator of Youth Ministry
