“Even now, says the Lord return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the Lord, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. “ Joel 2: 12-13

All Catholics Are Invited
to Provide Feedback on the Pastoral Plan Draft
Last March, the Archdiocese launched an online survey collecting nearly 8,000 responses from Catholics across the region. This Catholic survey was followed by listening sessions in October, centered on the preliminary elements of the mission statement, guiding principles, and a shared vision. These sessions informed the development of the Pastoral Plan Draft. We invite all Catholics to review the draft below and share feedback in this survey..
RESOURCES ON THE CATHOLIC NATIONAL LEVEL
Pope Francis declared the start of the Year of the Family on March 19, the feast of St. Joseph. He also proclaimed a Year of St. Joseph from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021, to mark the 150th anniversary of the declaration of St. Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church. No doubt, he wants us to look to Joseph as an example for our own family life.
This new Stations of the Cross resource on overcoming racism can help you, your family, or faith community reflect on the pastoral letter against racism, Open Wide Our Hearts: The Enduring Call to Love. A rich Lenten reflection, this prayer resource can help open our hearts to the persistent sin of racism and the call to help overcome it.
For centuries, March 25 has been celebrated by Catholics as the “Feast of the Annunciation.” Mary’s fiat—“I am the servant of the Lord, Let it be done to me as you say”—brought our Savior into the world.
Pray this Novena to honor Our Lady in the Feast of the Annunciation!
