Dear Mary Mother of God Family,
I pray that as we roll into the Fall that you are all well and that the school year has gotten off to a great start. I have been visiting our Religious Education students and have found them to be a great blessing.

I want to announce to you that I have begun a process to take the information that you all gave me in the Town Halls and the Survey and to create a Leadership Study Team. This group will:

• Exam our current Leadership Structure and Process

• Exam the Leadership Structure of other parishes and see what we might be able to copy

• Research resources and webinars about Parish Leadership and see what we can use.

• Take the information that has been found and build a Leadership Structure here that we all believe

  would be most effect and Gospel based

• Determine how these Leadership groups will be populated.

  I met with the Finance Advisory Council and the Pastoral Council to begin this discussion and now I want to open it to anyone from the parish who is interested and willing to work. I would invite you to give this your prayerful consideration. If you feel you are willing and able, I invite you to attend the next meeting on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, in Holy Spirit Hall at 7:00 pm.

  I want to announce that Darrin Nelson, who has helped us make great strides in the Outreach Ministry and Formation of our Parish Leadership, will be transitioning from this to helping me organize and implement this process that I have listed above, as a Parish Life Consultant for Renew International. He will also be introducing a small group initiative to our parish this coming Lent. More information will come about this.

  I want to personally thank Darrin for the amazing things that he has helped us develop and implement over the last few years. I look forward to continuing to work with him in these new ventures.

  As I thank Darrin, I also want to thank you all for your prayerful support. Let us continue to ask God to guide us as we look always for ways to serve Him!

  Servus, Msgr. Joe
