TO THE FAITHFUL OF OUR PASTORATE,
Thank you to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul for sharing more about Vincentian spirituality and the call for you, the faithful, to join the SVdP Society through the month of January. As the main charitable arm of the pastorate, I remain grateful for their dedicated service to God and neighbor.
This weekend, I’d like to highlight the liveliness of our pastorate - from the Sacraments received to our upcoming pastorate benefit and Wednesday potluck, as well as several events hosted by our ministries.
This bulletin is packed with wonderful updates -TMIY, Discipleship Formation, and Filiae Mariae. Be sure to click the links to see photos of our pastorate in action! IHM School is enrolling for next school year, and children are invited to join the children’s choir. You'll also find a list of our ministry monthly meetings, a Bible Study you can join, and other upcoming events. There are many opportunities to get involved - I encourage you to explore them!
I am grateful for our vibrant pastorate. It is a joy to witness you being the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, actively doing His work in our everyday lives.
Fr. Chad Droessler
