Dear Parishioners and
Friends,
As Catholic Christians,
we have declared ourselves to be disciples
/ followers of Jesus Christ. Part of
our call to discipleship is to continue to grow in our knowledge and love of
God – to be formed in our faith. Our faith
formation is a life-long process.
This year, the idea of living into our discipleship (becoming
better followers of Jesus Christ) will guide us through the year. We will look for ways to enhance those gifts
and talents which God has given to us.
In this booklet we
describe many activities, events, organizations, and opportunities which are
available to you throughout the year.
Others will be added as the year progresses. Periodically we will publish updated
calendars on our parish website (www.StAgathaParish.org), in the bulletin, and
in the back of the church.
As you can see from our
Parish Mission Statement and our Faith Formation Goals, we believe in God’s
love and we know that we are called to be disciples – all of us, not just those
who are officially designated as parish leaders. Let us continue this journey of faith and
growth together.
We hope to see you
often, throughout the year.
