SOLEMN RECEPTION AND VENERATION

of the

Chief Celebrant:

 

Most Reverend Michael Brehl, C.Ss.R.

FOLLOWING THE REGIONAL DENAERY MEETINGS

 

The Bishop asks every Pastor and Administrator to convoke a meeting in each parish to consider the following three questions:

 

1.)  What did you hear at the Regional Deanery Meeting?  Please share how this information affects you, and please listen to one another carefully.

​

2.)   In the short term the diminishing number of active priests will necessitate some interim decisions to address the situation of the Diocese.  Please reflect on the pastoral, financial, and building status of your parish.  What do you think you can change or adapt in your parish community/parish to begin to respond to these circumstances?

 

3.)  As you consider the longer-term plans for our Diocese, do you have any proposals, suggestions, or considerations which will help the Bishop and the Steering Committee in guiding the process of pastoral planning?

 

Bishop Brehl asks that each parish hold these meetings as soon as possible, during March and early April. 

In particular, the parish responses need to be at the Chancery by April 17, 2026.

 

MEETING DATES:

 

Our Lady of Mercy Church – Thursday, March 19th @ 4:00 pm

 

St. Anthony of Padua – Tuesday, March 24th @ 5:00 pm
