        Dear Mary, Mother of God Family:

        I pray that as we begin this New Year, you and your families are safe and healthy!

        2023 holds many exciting opportunities for us here at Mary, Mother of God!
        • We are continuing with the Leadership Study and building on the great traditions here.
        • We are developing a Small Group Faith Sharing process, called Be My Witness, which will begin in Lent. We are looking for people interested in being leaders of these groups. More information will follow, please watch the bulletin and webpage for more information.
        • We will be working with St. Joseph’s parish to be part of a service opportunity to go build or repair homes in West Virginia, through the Wade County Work Camp. There will be an informational meeting about this program in mid-January.
         
        These are just a few of the exciting things that are happening here at Mary, Mother of God. Want to be more involved? If so, contact us through the parish office, and we will get you started!

        Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you will join us!

        · Continuamos con el Estudio de Liderazgo y nos basamos en las grandes tradiciones aquí.

        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 effective 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

    • Easter 2022
      • Easter Letter Dear Mary Mother of God Family:

        “You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think" 
          ~ Winnie the Pooh

        I pray that Easter this year offered you some special hope, mercy and joy! These gifts are some of the most powerful gifts from Easter. They make the above quote, from Winne the Pooh all the more powerful.

        When we invite allow Jesus into our struggles and pain, He is able to transform them from tough burdens into amazing teachers! We realize that these struggles do not need to be removed, as much as we would like them to be, but instead Jesus, through His love and mercy transforms them into ways to teach us about Himself, ourselves, and each other. We realize we are loved and accepted as we are, and that Jesus can give us whatever we are lacking if we let Him! All this is made possible through His death and resurrection! Isn’t worth giving Jesus a chance to do this for us?

        May this Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday be for each of us a chance to let Jesus in a little more into our lives and into our families. May we rejoice in the hope that He offers us this and every day to see ourselves as He does!

        On behalf of Deacons Sal, Chris and Jake, and Fathers Sean, Alex and myself, I would like to wish you and your families, Blessed and Hope filled Easter and Divine Mercy Sundays.

        Servus,
        Msgr. Joe
