This past week the leadership team of our family of parishes, which includes: trustees and clergy, met to discuss the best ways to hear everyone's thoughts on the diocesan suggestions moving forward for our family. In order that everyone can have their voices heard, we have decided that on Tuesday, July 2nd from 5:30pm-6:30pm we will be taking your input.
In order to make this process efficient, we are asking that you come with your ideas in writing so that it cannot be misinterpreted. We know that there is a lot of emotion with the proposed plan; therefore, we ask that all proposals be supportive for betterment of the family moving forward.
The parish trustees will be taking proposals with their parishioners at the following locations.
St. Joseph - Due to the bingo crowd we will meet at the church basement of St. Anthony
St. Anthony - Meet in Church
Holy Trinity - In the pavilion weather permitting, if not meet in the central office
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton - Meet in Church
Blessed Mary Angela - Meet in the Lyceum
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel - Meet in St. Rose hall
We know that we need the Holy Spirit to guide our recommendation, so during this process, we will be having Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction with worship music from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at Holy Trinity. This will be a time of prayer and quiet reflection. All are welcome.
