Dear Parish Family,

Memorial Day Weekend often marks the beginning of the Summer season. It is time to spend more relaxing moments outside and seek to recharge our spiritual batteries. As we shift into Summer Mode, setting some personal goals can help us to take advantage of the season and the time. Rather than letting life happen to us, by setting goals we stake our claim on how we want to grow, what we want to get out of the months ahead. Begin in conversation with God and ask the Lord how He seeks to encourage you on your journey.

As a parish staff, we are setting three goals for the summer in each of three personal areas: body, mind, and spirit. Won’t you join us in discerning how God would like for you to grow through the Summer? With all the sun and warmth, it is a great season for gardening and cultivating all the plants to grow. How is God’s grace seeking to be active in your life?

Wishing you a blessed and fruitful Summer,
Fr. Joel
