Parish leaders – priests, deacons and staff – are encouraged to join together for a day of prayer and personal reflection around the coming changes in parish structures as part of the Beacons of Light pastoral process. We hope to create a space for hospitality, listening and encounter with the Holy Spirit.
The day’s theme is A God Who Hears His People featuring Josh Danis, national director for Alpha in a Catholic Context, and hosted by the Center for the New Evangelization in conjunction with the Office of Parish Vitality.
The day will include hospitality and light refreshments, four brief talks, praise and worship, prayer, Adoration, lunch, and small group conversation.
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.
