Mr. Thomas Cronin, the Diocesan Advisor to the Bishop for Family and Parish Evangelization, attended the Parish Pastoral Council Meeting in February to present to us ideas and ways we can spread the Gospel of the Lord, and help people deepen their relationship with God. Tom left us with several options on new ways we can evangelize. Now it is time to put some of these ideas into action. There will be a Parish Evangelization Action Meeting on Wednesday, June 5, 2019 at 6:30 pm in Speigletown. All parishioners are invited to attend, and bring your ideas on ways we can grow and develop our parish. What can we do to attract new parishioners, or bring lapsed Catholics back to our parish? We need your ideas! We need your involvement! Please plan to attend this meeting. Together, we can continue the mission of Jesus to build His Church on earth!
