Ministries

ministry

Catholic parishes thrive when people leave their private comfort zones and reach out to the church and world to form community and offer loving service.  Since the Second Vatican Council there has been a wonderful explosion of lay “ministries” in the Catholic Church.  Faith increases, friendships form, community deepens, the neighbor is served… and God is glorified.    St. Margaret Mary is blessed with many liturgical, prayer and service-oriented ministries.  Come join us!

Synod

(Link to Spanish Translation)

Summary

The Synod is a way of coming and journeying together as one church through mutual dialog so that we can discern and fulfill our mission in this world. Our church will hold listening sessions with various groups to provide the entire people of God an opportunity to share their concerns and participate in the Catholic Church renewal.  The Synodal process follows the footsteps of Jesus who sought out and saved the forgotten, encountered people one-to-one, listened and changed their lives.

What is a Synod and why are we, the Catholic Church, going through this process:

  1. Synod means “Common Road” or “Walking Together”.
  2. Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, invites us to participate in the Synod on a sequence of Communion, Participation and Mission.
  3. The Synod process is one of communal discernment rather than individual discernment (Pope Francis). As such, we are called to journey through this process together.
  4. Within this Synod journey, we will talk, listen, pray, and discern where God is calling us as a church.
  5. It is a time for us to dream together and to share our hopes for renewal in the Church.
  6. Led by the Holy Spirit, the Synod process is designed for the church to listen to all communities we serve (past & present, interior & exterior).
  7. Listening will take place in structured, group Listening Sessions as well as informally with individual or small group conversations.
  8. Listening sessions will ask parishioners and ex-parishioners, along with communities outside of the church (Other denominations, community leaders, the neglected, etc.) for their input on the future direction of the church.
  9. The feedback we gather will be documented and summarized. The resulting document will be sent to our Diocese. The Diocese will then assemble the data they receive from all participating parishes into a single document which they will forward up to the next level (and so on).
  10. The information collected will be used by the Catholic Church as a whole, as well as our parish, to build the “Common Road” on which we can “Walk Together”. The ultimate destination for all collected feedback will be the Vatican. The feedback we gather from our Synod will also provide us with guidance for the Pastoral Plan at St. Margaret Mary Parish.

Resumen

El Sínodo es una forma de venir y viajar juntos como una sola iglesia a través del diálogo mutuo para que podamos discernir y cumplir nuestra misión en este mundo. Nuestra iglesia celebrará sesiones de escucha con varios grupos para proporcionar a todo el pueblo de Dios la oportunidad de compartir sus preocupaciones y participar en la renovación de la Iglesia Católica. El proceso sinodal sigue los pasos de Jesús, que buscó y salvó a los olvidados, se encontró con personas uno a uno, escuchó y cambió sus vidas.

Seguimiento de las Conversasiones del Sínodo:

1. Sínodo significa “Camino común” o “Caminando juntos”.

2. Nuestro Santo Padre, el Papa Francisco, nos invita a participar en el Sínodo sobre una secuencia de Comunión, Participación y Misión.

3. El proceso sinodal es de discernimiento comunitario más que de discernimiento individual (Papa Francisco). Como tal, estamos llamados a recorrer este proceso juntos.

4. Dentro de este viaje sinodal, hablaremos, escucharemos, oraremos y discerniremos a dónde nos llama Dios.

5. Es un momento para que soñemos juntos y compartamos nuestras esperanzas de renovación en la Iglesia.

6. Dirigido por el Espíritu Santo, el proceso sinodal está diseñado para que la iglesia escuche a todas las comunidades a las que servimos (pasadas y presentes, interiores y exteriores).

7. La escucha se llevará a cabo en sesiones de escucha estructuradas y en grupo, así como de manera informal con conversaciones individuales o en grupos pequeños.

8. Las sesiones de escucha pedirán a los feligreses y ex feligreses, junto con las comunidades fuera de la iglesia (otras denominaciones, líderes comunitarios, los abandonados, etc.) su opinión sobre la dirección futura de la iglesia.

9. Los comentarios que recopilemos se documentarán y resumirán. El documento resultante se enviará a nuestra diócesis. A continuación, la Diócesis reunirá los datos que reciben de todas las parroquias participantes en un solo documento que remitirán al siguiente nivel (y así sucesivamente).

10. La información recopilada será utilizada por la Iglesia Católica en su conjunto, así como por nuestra parroquia, para construir el “Camino Común” en el que podamos “Pasear Juntos”. El destino final para todos los comentarios recopilados será el Vaticano. Los comentarios que recopilemos de nuestro Sínodo también nos proporcionarán orientación para el Plan Pastoral en la Parroquia Santa Margarita María.
