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 Council (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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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?

News & Announcements

Grief Support Ministry

St. Anne Parish is entering its third year of providing grief support services to the families of our parish. The members of the ministry provide spiritual and emotional support to individuals and families experiencing the loss of a loved one.

We are a group of ten volunteers who have received training on how to provide comfort and resources to our parishioners who are navigating their individual healing journey. We meet on a monthly basis to share resources and to encourage and support one another in our ministry. Our model includes assigning a volunteer to work with the bereaved parishioner, offering support for a period of one year. Often these relationships develop into lasting friendships.

If you are a St. Anne parishioner and are interested in joining our group or you are a parishioner of Our Lady of Fatima or Sacred Heart and are interested in establishing a Grief Support Ministry, please contact either Marty Hillary at (919)606-6999 or Jane Fleming at (206)930-0460. We will be happy to provide you with training and assistance to get started.

Coffee and Donuts

Anyone can help with Coffee and Donuts! Sign up as a group or with another family. Kids can help alongside their parents. The sign-up genius for Our Lady of Fatima is here. If you would like to help with coffee and donuts at St. Anne or Sacred Heart, please reach out to the parish office. Thank you!
