Our last Parish Open Forum was held on February 28th. Our discussion focused upon the parish portion of the Synod. The finished one page report that was submitted to the diocese was read and will be further presented to the parish in the near future. Our discussion then evolved to focus on the importance of evangelization and providing adult education opportunities for adults. The date of our next Parish Open Forum will be set by the Parish Pastoral Council at their next meeting.
I thank Pat Marek for his continued service to our parish community. He will be stepping away from his responsibilities as facilities manager in August. He plans to continue to assist our parish as a volunteer. I will begin to evaluate this position and develop an updated job description. In the near future we will look for applicants to fill this important position for our parish community.
June 19th is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. I would like to officially reopen our adoration chapel that evening following our Eucharistic procession. In order to make this a reality we need to fill all days of the week with adorers. We currently offer adoration on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. We are now looking for adorers for Tuesday. Let us fill the hours before the end of March in order that we can move to another day of the week and one step closer to our goal of reopening the adoration chapel.
In Christ,
Fr. Dustin Collins
