Spring is always an exciting time- with rebirth, renewal, and plans for the future. This year especially- we are on the cusp of a springtime after a long pandemic winter. We aren’t completely done with winter. There are still some challenges remaining, but summertime is finally within view. More people are getting the vaccine and I am seeing more people return to Mass. We have re-introduced Children’s Liturgy of the Word to the 11am Mass. It is so wonderful to see our youngest parishioners receive their blessing and process out to the Mary Garden to hear the Word proclaimed to them!
With the weather getting nicer, having outdoor Team meetings are possible. Weather permitting, there will be a Family Formation Team Meeting on Thursday May 13th. We will not be returning to a traditional classroom religious education program next year. I am hoping that it will not be 100% home-based like it has been this year. I invite all parents to this meeting to learn about the program we are looking at for next year. We will also discuss plans for this summer. I also invite any adults or teens in the parish who are interested in volunteering as catechists or helpers to join us at the Family Formation Team meeting. By coming to the meeting, you are not committing to be a volunteer. This is an opportunity to learn more about plans for next year so that you can discern whether being part of the Family Formation Team is the best use of your talents and time. The Family Formation Team meeting will be May 13th at 7pm in the parking lot behind Manning Hall (rain date will be May 20th at 7pm). We will have folding chairs available, but you may want to bring a camp chair for more comfortable seating.
