We are so disappointed, but out of an abundance of caution we are cancelling tonight’s Intentional Listening Session at St. Paul.

We invite you to actively participate in our Synodal Listening Initiative by answering this week’s ‘Question of the Week’:

Kelly Meraw, Director of Pastoral Care and Liturgy for the Collaborative and Director of Music for St. John the Evangelist Parish, is featured this week on the Catholic Women Preach website.
Preaching for the Third Sunday of Easter, Kelly reflects on Jesus’ final post-resurrection appearance and what it means for our Church today:

Teaching Peter that ‘to love is to forgive’ is our Lord’s last blueprint entrusted to a Church who is asked to spill divine mercy over a world in desperate need of it. A Church who is asked to confront their own finite love and follow the movement of the Holy Spirit into a radical, unbounded love…
Please join us at one of our Intentional Listening Sessions! Invite family, friends, neighbors – people of all ages and faith backgrounds. Pope Francis wants to hear from all of us – the whole Church! He is inviting all of us to share our joys, our sorrows, and our dreams for the Church.
Registration is not required for the in-person listening sessions – all our welcome!
Sunday, May 1 at 1:00pm at St. John (Powers Hall)
Thursday, May 5 at 7:00pm at St. Paul (Parish Hall)…
We invite you to actively participate in our Synodal Listening Initiative by taking a copy of this week’s ‘Question of the Week’ card located in the lobby of the church:
If you were having coffee with Pope Francis what would you say?
The question can be answered on the card provided and dropped in the box in the lobby, or submitted online. (If you missed last week’s question – When have you felt most welcome in the Catholic Church? When have you felt most excluded in the Catholic Church? – you can answer that one too!)
