PARISH RENEWAL UPDATE
"The Forming Disciples Pillar committee has
met twice. During our meetings we have dis-
cussed those things that we already share,
those things that we would like to do in the
future, and problems facing us. We have
made a few minor changes that you will see this summer
when we send a newsletter out in August. Youth ministry and
adult programs are coming up in June and July. Please see a
pillar representative from your parish if you have anything
that you'd like addressed."
