PASTORAL COUNCIL MEETING

The next regular meeting for the Pastoral Council of St. Gregory the Great will be held at
6:30 pm, 25 March 2019 in Mary's House
(Senior Center).  This is an open meeting and all parishioner are welcome to attend. The meeting will stress the need to promote our parish, begin planning the recruitment of new members in May and the election of officers also in May.  

PASTORAL COUNCIL SUPPORT 

We will enter into a new Pastoral Council calendar year and need to work on our purpose and resolve for the year.  We serve the parish as an advisory group to Fr. Rudy with a primary focus to assist and support ministries in whichever way we can. The ultimate goal of parish life is to take a fresh look at its many aspects and shape them in ways that will bring people closer to the Lord.

PROMOTE OUR PARISH

   We must promote our parish, build-up our image in a way that will attract new parishioners and/or increase attendance. Attracting young parents could have the potential of a positive effect on school enrollments. One way is by word-of-mouth and another way would be to submit information about our parish to Today's Catholic for publication.

Eucharistic Apostles of the Divine Mercy

“Mercy is love that seeks to lessen
the misery of others”

I feel certain that my mission will not come to an end upon my death, but will begin.  O doubting souls, I will draw aside for you the veils of heaven to convince you of God's goodness so that you will no longer continue to wound with your distrust the sweetest Heart of Jesus.  God is Love and Mercy.  (Diary of St. Faustina, 281)
 
For study:  Sunday, March 17 and
April 7, 2019, 2:30 p.m., Mary’s House (Senior Center, 720 Beryl).  
All that is needed is a Bible, Catechism of the Catholic Church and The Diary of St. Faustina, “Divine Mercy in My Soul”.
 
Spiritual Works: Saturday, March 23 and
April 13, 2019, 11:00 a.m. in the Adoration Chapel.   We pray for the sick and the dying. On the 2nd Saturday we also pray for
Pro-life causes.
