Dear Friends,
As we continue to absorb and process all the financial and practical information from our last meeting, I pray that each of us is relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to guide us. With Mary as the intercessor "par excellence," we can only do well.
It will behoove us all to offer solutions that are realistic and have a possibility of succeeding. We don't want to raise expectations only to have them unmet. Once again, being a mission of another parish is not terrible. We would still function in much the same way, but the pastor would be from another parish.
One of the most essential goals is Outreach, or more to the point, Evangelization. Crisis moments like this tend to stir up great passion and emotion only to have it dissipate over time. We want to make sure that the commitment is consistent with the work at hand.
We will have another Parish Meeting on Tuesday, October 10th, at 7:00 PM in the parish hall. Bring a friend!
I will be in and out of the parish for this week. Please continue to make suggestions to Deacon Bill or send them to me by email at [email protected].
Peace,
Fr. Michael
