On Thurs., Nov. 19 at 7:00pm the Diocese of Lansing “Realign Resources for Mission” committee will be at our parish to meet with staff and parishioners in an effort to explain the reason, rationale and methodology of the Realign Resources for Mission process and, most importantly, to listen to parishioners’ responses to the process and how it could, potentially, impact upon our parish positively or negatively.
The meeting will take place in Fr. Fisher Hall and will be approximately 90 minutes long. The meeting will consist of two components: First, a presentation on behalf of the Realign Resource for Mission Committee. Second, small group discussion followed by feedback from parishioners on our hopes and fears for the process; what we love or feel needs to be known about our parish; and any specific suggestions we may have for the future of our parish or the future of the diocese.
Because of covid restraints, only eight parishioners can be present for the live, in-person meeting. However, the meeting will be set up for Zoom so all parishioners can join in. There will be info on how to access the Zoom meeting in the bulletins closer to the date. And for more info from the Diocese about this, please visit: dioceseoflansing.org/realign-resources-for-mission
PLEASE NOTE:
Let us consider and take seriously this suggestion offered by one of our fellow parishioners:
“I believe our whole parish should pray from the heart that we be blessed by God, through the intercession of Our Lady of the Assumption, during the diocesan Realignment.”
