Happy New Year!
A new year is a new opportunity to think about ways to serve God and our communities through the work of our parishes. May God continue to inspire us, and may we follow in the way He leads!
Drives
Hopefully you had successful drives in support the national Young Men’s Society of the Resurrection’s winter clothing drive, and PNA Councils 306 and 307 winter clothing and protein bar drives. Please make sure to turn in your results to both organizations, and please send them your pics!
Organizations and Commissions
All of our diocesan organizations and commissions have been busy organizing and making plans for the year 2025, and we thank them for their time and sharing their talents with us! A few are mentioned this month, with others to be highlighted in months to come.
Youth
Our diocesan Youth Association met in November and will meet again via Zoom on January 15 at 7pm (eastern time) / 6pm (central time) to further discuss and plan for this year’s diocesan Youth Gathering. All youth in the diocese and interested adults are welcome to participate in the meetings to help plan for the Youth Gathering. If you would like a meeting link, please contact me – smparmail@gmail.com and it will be sent to you.
The Youth Gathering will take place July 21 to 24 at Walnut Ridge Retreat Center in Morgantown, Indiana. The theme is God’s Kingdom Builders and the cost will be just $150 for Early Bird registration which includes lodging, all meals, and all activities! You can also give the gift of the Youth Gathering by sponsoring youth in your parish!
Please save the date, and we hope all youth and interested adults will plan to attend! More information will sent out soon!
United Women’s Organization
Our diocese is re-organizing its United Women’s organization. Father Mariusz Zochowski is the chaplain and is seeking interested members of women’s societies from parishes around the diocese to explore ways to re-make this important organization. To make contact and to see what is happening, please scan the QR code below to go to their Facebook page. Thank You for your interest!
Mission and Evangelism
Our Mission and Evangelism commission recently met and will meet again in January to promote growth in our parishes, and offer assistance. They will be sharing thoughts and practical information to encourage parishes to develop or enhance their outreach efforts. We Thank our parishes for what is being done to serve God and community!
Wishing You a Happy and Healthy New Year!
