renew

In the gathering area you will find a basket decorated with fall decorations. We invite parishioners during these six weeks to write one area of their spiritual lives that they would like to renew (prayer, quality time with others, better communication, reconciliation, etc.). You don’t write your name just the area of renewing. We will pray for these intentions during the second phase of renew.

A very limited number of Renew booklets are available on the tables with the Renew intention baskets. These booklets are for those parishioners who cannot participate in a faith sharing group but would like to join the parish in meditating each day on the themes of these six weeks.

invites parishioners to put their old religious Christmas cards in the receptacles near the St. Vincent de Paul food containers at the entrances of the church. These cards will be used by the committee to prepare a special surprise for our parishioners.
