We Are His Witnesses Update

As you will  recall from the recent Listening Sessions held here we were given 2 options, to think about and to offer feedback: either merging with St. Cassian in Montclair or merging with St. Valentine here in Bloomfield. Since then about 70 of you offered feedback as to what you think is the best option.

Since then Marta Glogowski, a member of our parish’s WAHW committee and former chairperson  of our   Pastoral Council  has created a 90 page document offering Bishop Saporito and his team the options for our parish to be a stand-alone parish . In the document we make the case for a parish to be the regional center for the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA), Youth Ministry (we have 2 active youth groups), Young Adult Ministry, Bereavement, etc.

Thank you , Marta, her team:  Jim McKittrick and Joe turner for their help on the document., Patrice as Parish Point of Contact and Dan Bitecola , Pat DeCotis, Jim McKittrick , Patrick McGroarty, Chinwe Osondu, and Bob    Urbanovich for serving as Key Parish Leaders during the We Are His Witnesses process; and to the heads of our parish ministries for the wealth of information you have provided.  Let’s continue to pray to the Holy Spirit, during the restructuring of our Archdiocese, that the right decision be made for our parish.
