Youth Faith Formation: End of School-Year Resource for You!
The end of the school year can be stressful for teens. The Office of Youth Ministry has written a prayer for them to invite God into the struggle. As a special resource for you, we have created prayer cards to share in your parish. We’ll be stopping by to bring you copies, and we have made an electronic version available for your bulletin, website and social media.
Download the prayer card here.
We’ve also written a prayer of the faithful that you can include in your Masses. Download the prayer of the faithful here.
Development: Renew + Rebuild Capital Campaign
After more than three years,
we are in the final stages of
Renew + Rebuild. We have had great success, raising more than $237 million. Our success is the result of much hard work and incredible personal and financial commitments from parishioners. Throughout the campaign, we have learned a great deal from lay leaders' input.
In our full update, you can read more about strategies that have worked well, opportunities for improvement and more. Click here.
