PARISH MEETING

On Sunday, January 31 following the 11:15 A.M. Mass, there will be a meeting in the gym to present to the parish the results of the Visioning Conference held here last October.

There will be a luncheon served in preparation for the meeting, and activities for young children will be available. All members of the parish, young and old (and everyone in between!), are invited to come, share a meal with your fellow parishioners, and get involved in charting an exciting course for our parish community.

A presentation on the conference will be given and there will be time to look at some of the work done in the different areas looked at during the conference, such as ministries, liturgy, youth and young adults, spirituality, buildings, and communications, with the hope that some of the areas of concern will entice you to help to bring this vision into being.

In order to figure on numbers for lunch, please call the parish office at 610-525-0147 if you and/or the members of your family plan to be with us. If you prefer, email your response to vision@omgcparish.org. For the latest information concerning the visioning implementation process, go to the Our Vision section of the parish website (www.omgcparish.org).
