Missionary Leadership Institute – Diocese of Green Bay

Missionary Leadership Institute – Diocese of Green Bay

For parish leaders, both staff and volunteers! Imagine what our communities would look like if each parish had a group of staff and parishioners formed and equipped to accompany others and serve as leaders in any ministry.

The Missionary Leadership Institute is designed for a wide variety of parish leaders to:
* discern their vocation, their particular call to holiness
* be formed as leaders who will evangelize and disciple others
* serve more effectively as lay ecclesial ministers (parish staff)

For more information, please visit: www.gbdioc.org/institute. You may also contact Jamie Whalen, Lay Leader Formation Director at (920) 272-8268 or via email at: jwhalen@gbdioc.org.

New Parish Center Groundbreaking Ceremony

New Parish Center Groundbreaking Ceremony

Thanks to all who attended our Groundbreaking Ceremony on March 17. It was a chilly, windy day, but only a few snowflakes fell as we ceremoniously dug some dirt.

A commemorative shovel is placed in the gathering space. All are welcome to sign it!

Father Ron started off the ceremony by blessing the grounds that we are building on and prayed for the safety of the people who are involved in the project. Derek Peeters, the lead architect from Hoffman as well as a life-long parish member, shared some fond memories of his childhood at St. Johns and how grateful he is for being chosen to work on this project. Deacon Dave followed by thanking all those involved and the hard work put in by dedicated parishioners and donors.

We first had our core committee who helped make this project a reality symbolically break the ground. We then asked a group of students from both our Faith Development program and St. John School to help break the ground since they will benefit just as much by having this new parish center built. We then had the Hoffman project team with parish leadership, followed by any interested parish members young and old to participate in breaking the ground. As Father Ron said, “we’re building this building not only for us, but for you, and your children, and for your grandchildren.”

March Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

March Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

Lent is the perfect time to practice the gift of love and form a lifelong habit. How are we doing on the following commandment of love?

When asked which commandment was the most important, Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it. Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:37–39)
