Partners in the Gospel Listening Session
Next Session: August 23 at 12:30PM at Mary, Queen of Peace
Members of our parish family are invited to reflect on three key questions in upcoming listening sessions: 1. What challenges do you see that exist in the wider community? 2. What challenges do you see that exist in the parish? 3. Having heard information from the community demographics report, what opportunities do you see (in our parish and in the wider community) to more effectively serve and accompany others? Is there anybody that we can do a better job of reaching?
Each 90-minute session will be led by trained parish volunteers and will include prayer, reflection, and time for personal sharing. The goal is deep, prayerful listening to where the Holy Spirit is leading us. Your input truly matters. The Parish Family Advisory Committee (PFAC) will receive the unedited words of every parishioner who participates. What you share will directly influence the next phase: “Who Do We Want to Become?”
