Dear Parishioners,

A meeting of our finance and advisory councils was recently held to talk about 'On Mission' and the things we want to be mindful of as we move forward toward the merger. The conversation was fruitful and prayerful. The council members raised some important points that we need to be mindful of as we move forward together: unity; catechesis; evangelization; keeping our aging parishioners engaged. These were some of the items that emerged from the discussion, but the issue that surfaced more than all others was our young people. How do we keep them engaged? How do we effectively catechize them? What programs do we put in place to reach them and keep them connected? We assure you that these concerns will be on the front of our minds as we move into the merger process.

I very much would like to hear from you about the ways you would like to see the parish grow to help you and others in coming to know and love God and our neighbors. Please feel free to share them with me or any Parish Council Member.  For your convenience you can use the 'My Thoughts and Ideas’ online submission form located on this page.

Thank you in advance and God bless our developing parish.


In Christ,
Fr. Jean-Luc
