Synod: 
Pope Francis is offering us an historic opportunity to have influence over the experience of being a disciple. He is asking us to share our experience so far and our ideas about improving the experience for future disciples on the journey here at St. Louise and the worldwide church.
 
What is a synod? In Church terminology, the word “synod” means a meeting of the  faithful to discuss the doctrinal and pastoral needs of the Church. It comes from the Greek word that means “meeting”, but its roots have the connotation of going along the path or way with one another. The purpose of the Synod is primarily about  listening. First, listening to the Holy Spirit. Second, listening to one another.
 
It is also important to hear from those who have left the church, too. To know what may have kept them from leaving the Church. They are invited to participate in this process, too. 
 
Our Listening Sessions begin on  January 15th after the 5 PM Mass. During January, all meetings are being held online. Please register here to attend. We will conclude by the beginning of March.
 
Pope Francis is counting on the Holy Spirit and us to develop innovative ideas to re-energize the church and help us become better disciples. Let’s do all we can to actively participate.
 
Thank you and may the blessings of the Holy Spirit enliven us.

Parish In-Person Gatherings 

With the significant spike in COVID-19 cases, we are called to respond to Jesus' command to love our neighbor (Matthew 22:37-39) by moving our non-sacramental in-person gatherings (meetings, prayer groups, adoration and rosaries etc.) to online meetings via the Zoom platform through January 31st.  Where it is not possible to do this, events scheduled in January will be postponed or canceled.  This plan will be revisited prior to February.  We will continue to celebrate Mass and other Sacraments (Reconcilliation, Anointings etc) as well as funerals both  in person and via livestream with in person participants continuing to wear masks at all times while inside St. Louise buildings.   Thank you for your continued cooperation as we navigate keeping everyone safe while continuing to live as the Body of Christ during the pandemic.
