KNOW

Thank you so much for all those who attended the Evangelization Summit on Thursday, May 1st. We will send out notes as soon as they are typed. The team spent Friday moving the rest of the Institute materials from our old suite on Jewett Ave into a storage room, so give us this week to get notes together.

Registration is now open for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd formation. Please see this flyer and this event page.

The bishop and I will discuss the Consent and Release Form on Friday. You can proceed if you are using LEAD for registration (contact Carmela). If not, we appreciate your patience. The link for the family form will be available by Monday at the latest. If you open registration, you can simply email those who register later.

There are two chances for OCIA workshops this month. Please spread the word. One registration (Friday) is here. Saturday registration is here.

From our friends at Sadlier: Join us for an insightful online event: The Conclave: History, Process, and How It Works. Dive into the tradition of how the Catholic Church chooses its new shepherd through centuries-old rituals of faith and discernment. Learn about the election process, the meaning behind the white and black smoke, and explore some of the most memorable conclaves in Church history. Register here.

REFLECT

Let us pray for this very important week ahead!

Holy Spirit, enlighten the Church at this time, especially all the cardinals you call to take part in the conclave. Grant them wisdom and holiness so that all may cooperate with your inspiration and guidance to elect the next Vicar of Christ, your chosen servant. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
