Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON Our Lord in the Gospel this Sunday teaches his apostles to pray in the familiar words of the Lord’s Prayer. He also urges them to pray persistently. If we persist in daily prayer, wholehearted daily prayer, we will receive blessings from the Lord. During these summer days, make the time to spend time with the Lord, just as we plan special time for vacation with friends and family. This will bear rich fruit for homes, families, church and community. Next week is St. Anthony’s church festival. I urge everyone in our tri-parish to come and support our sister parish next Sunday for Polka Days. The park-like grounds beside the church where the festival is held make this a “party in the park!” following the 11:30AM polka mass. Join me and the members of St. Anthony’s for the fun.

THANK YOU - The parish would like to thank Raymond Brya for the generous gift given to the parish in Memory of his sister - Florence Brya.  Thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness.  God bless you!

 

STRATIGIC PLANNING PROCESS

 

There are several types of changes which are possible in parishes and schools as a result of the archdiocesan planning process decisions announced by the Archbishop this upcoming fall. Changes will be announced at weekend Masses on  October 16 and 17, 2010. As we move forward, all parishes and schools will be expected to increase collaboration with other parishes and/or schools as well as regularly evaluate resources and adjust accordingly.

 

Definition of types of changes

 

Collaboration: intentional sharing of personnel, programs or resources between two or more parishes or schools; some parishes and schools identified as “mission critical” will be supported by all parishes in the Archdiocese.

 

Cluster: two or more parishes that share a pastor; separate parishes retain their parish status and basic organizational structure.

 

Merger: two or more parishes or Catholic school communities combine into one; church and/or school buildings may be closed as a result of mergers.

 

You may find out more about the archdiocesan planning process by visiting  http://planning.archspm.org/

 

What’s Next:  In the coming weeks and months, additional resources and information will be published in our parish bulletin and in The Catholic Spirit.
