Beloved Disciple Parish

Listening Sessions for the USCCB’s Pastoral Letter on the Laity 
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is requesting input from laity throughout the nation in preparation for a pastoral document on the laity. Parishes are asked to hold listening sessions in September.  Schedule will be as follows: 
Sunday September 14th after 9:00am Mass at St Michael's 
Sunday September 14th after 11:00am Mass at Beloved Disciple Church 
Saturday September 20th after 4:30pm Mass at Beloved Disciple Church 
This an opportunity to let your voice be heard as we as a community meet and discuss our Catholic Faith and Church.  Each session will last about an hour after Mass and ALL are invited.  We want to hear especially from those whose voice feel are overlooked. Join us.

Please remain in Church to participate in a Listening Session, as we prepare to send to the US Bishops our thoughts and prayers in the coming months. Our input into the process is of value for not only the Catholic Church in the United States, but also for our Diocese and Parish. Your participation is needed, especially those that don't feel they have a voice or that the Catholic Church never listens to the people in the pews. It should be a time of prayer and reflection to share with each other our hopes and concerns about the Catholic Church today.

Book Club Meeting: After a summer of intense reading, we will meet for our Book Club meeting to discuss, have a few snacks and discuss the coming year. We will meet Tuesday, September 16 in the Parish Library at 6pm. Please join us to discus the books assigned or any book that was read over the summer. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to contact Deacon Owen in the Parish Office

Parish Evening Prayer (online): Please join us on Tuesday, September 9th at 7pm as we return to Evening Prayer in Community via Zoom. We start at 7pm and pray in community for 20 to 25 minutes.
