Our Parish Mission Leader is Fr. Michael DiGregorio, OSA. He is the Provincial of the local Augustinians and is a sought-after preacher. Fr. Michael does just a couple of Parish Missions per year, so we are fortunate that Fr. Joe was able to encourage him to come to St. Christopher. Here is a taste of the St. Christopher Parish Mission 2020:
LIVING THE CHRISTIAN LIFE TODAY – IN GOOD COMPANY
Many people today think of themselves as spiritual, but far fewer consider themselves religious, in the sense of belonging to, or participating in, the life of the Church. But Jesus did not intend for us to be spiritual lone rangers. He called people together, and desired that in and through the community which we call Church, we might find support, companionship, example and even helpful challenges, in living our faith day after day. The parish mission will seek to show:
- Monday - What it means to be Church and how the experience of communion with other believers is integral to the following of Christ. [Scripture Service - not a Mass]
- Tuesday - Why forgiveness and reconciliation are permanent characteristics of discipleship, for personal and communal growth. [Penance Service / Confessions]
- Wednesday - How Eucharist expresses and celebrates our vocation, identity and mission as believers and disciples. [Eucharist / Mass]
Fr. Michael will be speaking at all the Masses this weekend to get the party started! Please make the time to join Fr. Michael; you will not regret putting the time aside for yourselves and your loved ones next week. Please spread the word!
