WHAT’S HAPPENING IN THE PARISHES?

Parish Implementation Teams … Last Thursday, March 23, 2017, Fr. Mark hosted a livestream Q&A, answering questions about the strategic plan. The livestream has served over 150 viewers. It was an easy, yet informative, way of serving the parishes.  Parish implementation teams continue to learn about the specific details of the strategic plan so as to become more confident while speaking with others.  

Parish Liaisons … Fr. Mark met once again with all the parish liaisons. At their weekly meeting on Thursday, March 23, 2017, they discussed the importance of celebrating what is happening in the parishes. Be on the look out this week for more updates from the parishes!
