With our Bishop Christian Riesbeck, CC’s support, our Pastor Antonio Reyes and a missional prayer team embarked on a year-long course with Divine Renovation’s Genesis Compass renewal program. From this, we’ve formed a parish leadership team to support our pastor in focusing on the parish renewal mission,
guiding our parish stewardship in mission,
working with our ministries,
improving our communication,
and working toward a new parish pastoral council to represent the broader parish in outreach.
Father Daren Bryk, CC, our diocesan Revitalization Coordinator, shared the Cathedral parish’s Divine Renovation experience over the past year, preaching here on the fifth Sunday of Easter. The Cathedral parish is striving to realize our Bishop Christian Riesbeck, CC’s vision for all our parishes to move from maintenance to mission, and to be inviting, welcoming, and evangelizing.
On the eve of the Solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we had a chapel full of parish ministers, for a service of thanksgiving, solemn blessing, and prayers for renewal in our parish mission. Thanks to all who have served and are serving, for your good works. We pray to encourage more of our parish faithful to help bring our parish from maintenance to mission, to be welcoming and evangelizing!
Pray with us!
Come, Holy Spirit, renew our parish in mission and service.
Check out Divine Renovation resources including the book, and read the book we’ve been praying over – Msgr. James Shea’s From Christendom to Apostolic Mission.
Then, contact our parish office with your prayerful inspiration on moving our parish from maintenance to mission!
Please keep our parish leadership team in your prayer:
