ROAD TO RENEWAL OUTREACH / INREACH PILLARS

As announced a couple weeks ago, after having met with several groups of priests and the bishop, it was determined that certain adjustments still need to be made. In the meantime planning for the formation of families will continue. When a new timeline for implementation for phase 1 and 2 are complete, it will be announced.

The Activation Stage of the Road to Renewal is designed for parishes of the Family of Parishes to work on the Six Pillars that make up being Church. This week the OutReach / InReach and Stewardship are being highlighted. OutReach, InReach and Stewardship are 3 of the 6 Pillars that specific groups will be focusing on.

Out Reach: Any ministry or activity aimed at bringing relief for those who are suffering, while maintaining inclusivity; Evangelization efforts geared at people who are unchurched and seeking Christ; promotion of missionary discipleship to attract new Catholics.

In Reach: Ministry to those who are in physical or spiritual need; Empower parishioners; Develop a culture of welcome.

Stewardship: Volunteers — donate time, treasure and / or talent; Family / Parish hospitality; any activities that have to do with the above.

The thoughts and skills of our parishioners are important to the successful launch of our family. If your background or expertise lends to any of these areas; please consider joining one of these Pillar Groups by contacting the parish office.
