Listening Session: What Opportunities and Challenges Exist for Us?
Date: Saturday, February 28
Time: 9:30am for coffee, donuts, and community;
10 to 11:30am for the session.
Location: Our Lady of Fatima Parish Center
From the Parish Family Advisory Committee (PFAC): The goal of this session is to bring people of all three parishes together, therefore there is ONLY ONE listening session on this topic. We hope to have someone from each parish at every table. Adults only, please. An RSVP through this link is appreciated.
In preparation for the meeting, please review the demographics portion of the Annual Report and reflect on these questions:
-
What challenges do you see that exist in the wider community? An example could be having a large homeless or undocumented immigrant population with specific needs.
-
What challenges do you see that exist in the parish family? An example could be having a large number of families with teenagers but not being able to hire a youth minister.
-
Having heard information from the community demographics report, what opportunities do you see (in our parish family and in the wider community) to more effectively serve and accompany others? Is there anybody that we can do a better job of reaching?
Soup Suppers and Stations of the Cross
