Ministry Day – A Morning of Reflection

“We are Easter People! Alleluia.” 

That was the theme for our gathering on Saturday for Ministry Day. Msgr Mike Walsh, our guest speaker, spoke about our Baptism and the grace of faith that we received. God’s grace continues to help us grow as followers of Christ. Michelle Krystofik, Funeral Ministry, agreed that accompanying each other on our spiritual journey is essential. Fellowship is important. Our duty as a follower of the Risen Lord is to evangelize and catechize. Msgr Mike stressed the importance of continuing to invite and mentor others. We need to share in the many grace filled opportunities to minister in the Church. Vince Pizzolo, Lector, acknowledged that the day was enriching and memorable.

If you missed out on attending on Saturday, we plan to come together again in the Fall celebrating our ministerial roles in the Church.
