As Father Andrew mentioned in his homily on June 2, St. Clare Parish has been selected to be in the first cohort of parishes to develop a Missionary Strategic Plan to Unleash the Gospel in our community. The team has met with representatives of the AOD twice so far.  In the first meeting, healthy team dynamics were discussed, as well as the power of prayer.  This week focused on the work of the Holy Spirit in Unleash the Gospel, and how team members can apply it to themselves and discover how it can help bring about new life in our parish.  This is a fast-moving process, with the final draft of the Missionary Strategic Plan due to the Archdiocese early in August, so Save these Dates?
 
The planning team wants to listen to YOU!  What do you want to see in our vision for St. Clare to Unleash the Gospel?  Please plan to attend two parish forums, held on consecutive evenings and tell us what you think.
 
The forums are scheduled for Wednesday, June 26 and Thursday, June 27 at 7:00 pm.  Each session with begin in the Church, with Adoration until 7:25 PM followed by a discussion in the Social Hall until 9 pm.  It is important that each of you participate.  We need your input. We look forward to seeing you then.
