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.

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)

Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession, explores the grace and healing offered in Confession and shows how this sacrament of mercy reveals the depth and goodness of God’s love.

By looking at God’s revelation of his mercy in Scripture and making a step-by-step examination of the Rite itself, Forgiven communicates God’s invitation to each one of us to come experience his indescribable love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
