pleased to be providing three new opportunities for Pastors, Parish Life Coordinators/Parish Directors, Deacons, Religious Sisters, Parish Catechetical Leader (Principals, Teachers, DREs, CREs, Youth Ministers) – and Parish Leadership Teams (to include any and all parish leaders) to learn and grow together. These offerings are in response to numerous requests for opportunities for more extensive training and leadership development.  All individual leaders are welcome to attend, however it is hoped that you will take advantage of these opportunities by attending as an entire parish leadership team.

“Sharing the Vision”

This session will concentrate on the four major focus and vision areas that Bishop James P. Powers is setting forth for all of us.  Those areas are: Catholic Identity, Eucharist, Evangelization and Servant Leadership. A panel of presenters consisting of Fr. David Neuschwander, Christopher Hurtubise, Robert Lecheler and Christine Newkirk, will help participants to explore more deeply what these areas mean to us as Catholics and some practical ideas to live them out and engage them in our ministries more fully.

“Ministry from Afar”

As we have entered unprecedented times in the life of the Church with the experience of Covid-19 and social distancing, this session will highlight ways in which leaders can facilitate effective communication, reassure the faithful, be creative in ways of reaching out to their audiences and practical ideas for conducting a variety of ministries even with these new realities.  These unique times do not have to be limiting; they can provide a whole array of new opportunities in the life of the Church; albeit different in some ways. Mrs. Peggy Schoenfuss and Fr. Papi Reddy Yeruva will take us on this journey of opportunity.
