We are at our best when we do what we do best! When people are mindful of and use
their talents, they are more likely to thrive in ministry and in life. Teams work together more
effectively; people contribute more readily and value the contributions of others. Communities
come to life as members become more engaged with one another and ultimately more deeply
with the mission of Christ, understanding that all good gifts are entrusted to us by God.

I am convinced that Beacons of Light, born of great hope, will enable us to form stronger parishes, centered on the Eucharist, that radiate the love of Christ and joy of the Gospel… God has abundantly blessed our first two centuries and will certainly bless the next.
