Dear Friends,

Happy feast day! We begin our novena of activities in honor of our patron, St. Gregory the Great this week!

As an appreciation of the fantastic life of our parish, I am asking each parishioner to consider our duty to evangelize…to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Of course, we strive to do this first and foremost by the way we lead our lives.

Another important way to evangelize is to invite people who we care about to come back to church and to receive all of their sacraments of initiation. This is the time to ask people to consider the class for Rites of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA).

Please look for other ways in the bulletin to help you with these invitations. We should have many people enrolled in this special program this year so that at the Easter Vigil the church is bursting with people eager to participate fully in the life of the Church.

With affection,
