Welcome back to the start of another school year!
Each year, our parish picks an area for us all to grow in faith. This year, the whole church in the United States has joined us, spending a year in Eucharistic Revival. This year will culminate with a Eucharist Congress in Indianapolis in July 2024, but there is plenty for us to do in the meantime!
We've laid out three goals for all of us to work towards as we seek to renew our love for the Eucharist as a parish. Here they are:
Encounter Jesus Christ anew in the Eucharist and joyfully welcome others to experience Christ’s love through the Mass.
Develop habits to sustain a life-long relationship with Jesus, truly present in the Eucharist.
Evangelize, sacrifice, and serve with a renewed spirit of self-giving love, nourished by our celebration of the Eucharist.
As we go throughout our year in Religious Education, we'll be returning to these goals. However, for now, I hope we can all stop and take stock:
How is my relationship with the Eucharist right now? Is Sunday Mass a priority?
Can I think of ways I need to grow within these goals?
How can I help my family encounter Jesus in the Eucharist in new ways?
May we all grow closer to Jesu this year! We are grateful for you!
