SYNOD LISTENING SESSIONS
You may have heard that Pope Francis has asked that parishes and dioceses offer feedback in preparation for the Synod of Bishops, whose theme will be “For a Synodal Church: Communion, Participation, Mission.” in 2023. Average Catholics like yourself are being asked to consider how the church communicates with its people, upholds the centrality of the Eucharist and evangelizes.
A summary of people's responses from this week's listening sessions will be available in early June. It will also be submitted to the Diocese to be included in their report to Rome.
If you did not get the opportunity to attend and would like to make your feelings known you may complete an individual survey here.
Those attending our parish listening sessions suggested that we meet again to discuss what parish activities could attract welcome and retain people of all ages and walks of life. We will be scheduling a session for this purpose later in June.
Work Day For The Parish Center
Our parish center, which is under renovation, will be come a center for parish activities and also allow us to reach out more to the community.
This center (the former convent on Regan Street) will allow for space for a number of ministry groups in the parish, and also will be the location of our parish health center and radio station.
On Saturday June 4th from 8:00am to noon
Please volunteer your time (and even the hands of a younger person you know) we will be working to move items and furnature around and getting preliminary things ready for the grand opening once renovations are complete.
You may contact Maura Sweeney at the office for more informaiton.
