HOUSE OF CHARITY
"Helping others reach for a new day rejuvenates us in ways that more stuff, a fatter resume, or a super-sized house can't begin to. We want to feel useful. We want to find meaning. We want to feel this alive and on fire with possibility." Susan Skog

MERGER CORNER
The Transitional Liturgy Committee met last Monday at St. Teresa's. Representatives from each of the four merging parishes provided an overview of some of the liturgical ministries of their parishes. The members of the Transitional Liturgy Committee will review the reports from the four parishes on their liturgies and return to the next meeting with recommendations. That process will be repeated until all of the liturgical ministries at each parish have been reported on and reviewed and presented to the Transitional Liturgy Committee for recommendations in the formation of the new parish. The Transitional Liturgy Committee plans to meet twice a month.

The other transitional committees - Finance and Facilities, Religious Education Committee and Ministry Committee - plan to hold their first meetings before the end of the month.

A second Unity Hymn Sing will take place in July. A date will be announced soon.

The Priest Co-Conveners and Core Team end each Core Team meeting with a prayer from our parish planning process. We thank our fellow parishioners for your support and ask you to join us in this prayer.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to guide us as we enter into and continue the task of creating our new parish. Help us to maintain a balance between what we would like the parish to be and what we are capable of becoming. We pray that You send us the Holy Spirit, that he grant us the graces needed; not be threatened by the enormity of the task nor by the nature of what we have been entrusted to do. We ask Our Lady to intercede for us, and to keep us always focused on the fact that we are on this Earth to prepare for an eternity with You in heaven, and that all we do is for Your greater honor and glory and not our own. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
