​

Lord Jesus Christ, as we begin to shift our thoughts from summer schedules to the anticipated demands of autumn, teach us to recognize you, and help us follow you amidst our busy lives. Open the Scriptures to us… that we may know you, see you, hear you – in the voices of friends and family, in the ministries of our parish, in the proclamation of the Word, and in the Breaking of the Bread. Teach us to be good stewards, that we may use your gifts wisely and care for all those you place in our path. Encourage us when we are overwhelmed. Strengthen us when we are frightened. Challenge us when we are complacent. Help us make our August transition a time of spiritual renewal, hope and action: to proclaim the Gospel in our words and in our deeds. Amen.

The Diocese Women’s Ministry invites Catholic women throughout our diocese to complete an online survey. All information gathered will be used to discern proper resources, educational formation opportunities, programs and events specifically targeted to women in your parish and throughout the diocese. The results of the survey will be shared with pastors and parish women’s ministry representatives. To complete the survey online, enter the following link into your browser
