As the Deanery Study continues, I would like to invite all members of the parish of St. Anselm to attend an Open Town-Hall meeting on Monday evening, July 14 at 7:00 p.m. in the Auditorium along with our Parish Council. The Diocese has asked each parish participating in the Study to hold these Town-Hall meetings in July.
We'll announce this meeting this weekend and next, at all of the Masses, and we'll have packets of helpful information available to help you prepare for the meeting.
In the packet you'll find several helpful handouts updating the information about the process of evaluating viable parishes for the future. We'll look at the differences of twinning parishes, or clustering parishes, or merging parishes.
We're giving you this information because we want your input into the process of giving recommendations to the bishop and the diocese as to the future of the Church in this area of Monmouth County.
Just as the Second Vatican Council was called by Pope John XXIII to update the Church, so our deanery study will help the local Church prepare for the future. It's only with your input, the people of God, that we can enliven the Church for the future!
TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND OTHER PARISHIONERS TO COME TO THE TOWN-HALL MEETING.
