Hope After Loss Mass
Advent is a season of celebration, of family, friends and preparation. However, for many who are struggling, it can also be a difficult time filled with grief.
In these times of grief and loss, we turn to the Lord for hope, strength, and consolation.
The Hope after Loss Mass is meant to help those struggling from any kind of loss, including the loss of a loved one, loss of a job or who have lost their hope due to current circumstances.
Join us Wednesday, November 18, at 5:30 PM
Mass will begin with a special Service of Light

Temporary EIM Online Training Will End December 31st
The pandemic in no way lessens the sacred obligation of those who serve in ministry, both virtual and in-person, to make the Church safe for all. To help you fulfill this obligation, the diocesan EIM Office has developed a temporary online training program to meet the compliance requirement for those who are due or past due to attend an EIM Workshop. This online training is primarily for persons who have attended a previous EIM Workshop and now need to update their compliance; the online training renews compliance for up to 3 years. The training is available in English and Spanish and only requires approximately 45 minutes to complete.
This online opportunity ends December 31.
The EIM training is available at
www.austindiocese.org/workshop. On the training page, you will find instructions on how to login to your EIM account to obtain the information you will need to provide in order to receive credit for completing the training. New employees and volunteers currently active in ministry should submit an
EIM Application and check with their parish EIM site administrator regarding the availability of an EIM Workshop.
Grieving? Know Someone Who Is?
