Sixty-three of our fellow parishioners were commissioned at the 10:30 a.m. Mass last weekend. Over the past year, these men and women said yes to a process called ChristLife. They met together in small groups to discover the depths of Jesus’ love for them; to commit to a purposeful relationship with Him; to grow in understanding of what it means to follow Him; and to learn how to share the Good News of what Jesus has to offer. Sound interesting? In the Fall, we will begin Discovering Christ. More information to follow about this enriching and exciting process called ChristLife.
