Parish Events

At the direction of the Bishop's Office and with encouragement from Fr. James, we are engaging with the Diocesan Priorities and making plans to "take the pulse" of our OLIH community. Once this is completed we will be able to focus the parish onto the identified priority for OLIH.

From the Bishop:

“This pivotal moment comes after over three years of listening to one another, praying, identifying strategic priorities, and crafting concrete means of realizing our mission.  Overall, we have humbly opened ourselves to what God’s will asks of us…I am pleased to share with you the fruits of this concerted listening, learning, mutual respect, and transparency. We are offering our parishes a bundled “basket” with an array of resources and a proposed means of engagement…

The six toolkits in this bundled “basket” are a robust collective resource correlated with our six identified diocesan strategic priorities. Together, they beckon for patient and selective discernment and deliberation by each of our parishes. In no way are the toolkits and the visioning process intended to be a top-down mandate from on high, let alone a theoretical ‘program’ from me, your Bishop, that you are obliged to simply passively obey and enact. To view the toolkits and the vision in such a dim light is a surefire recipe to stymie and deplete the Spirit’s potential among us.”
