REBOOT Follow Up -
Gratitude & Challenge from
Fr. Meyer
Wednesday, October 15th was powerful and amazing. Thanks for being present and receptive!
Page 14 of the REBOOT book has the QR code for the Living Joy program. There are 19 videos. First meetings begin October 26. Then you will meet weekly for the next 5 weeks!
Just do it! Be not afraid!
Invite someone- watch the videos, use the booklet for discussion to go over 2 rules at each session and rediscover JOY!
So much gratitude was shared on Saturday, August 9, for all God has given to St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross Catholic Church.
St. Teresa's Feast Day served as the perfect time to celebrate 25 years since our church's founding in Bright. Many, many thanks to all who contributed to this beautiful celebration!
Very special thanks to Archbishop Charles Thompson and several of our past and present Priests and Deacons who made this occasion even more special! God has blessed our parish abundantly!
