Christ’s Great Commission is to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19-20).
In December 2023, our priest was presented with a unique opportunity from the Metropolis of Chicago to undergo specialized training that will better equip him to lead our parish to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission. This two-year training program (2024, 2025) focuses on leadership. The Metropolis promised to shoulder 60% of the cost of the training. It asked Fr. Dustin to pay for 10% and the parish to pay for 30% of the training as well as travel, lodging, etc. The Parish Council embraced this opportunity. Our parish needs to raise a total of $14,000: $6,700 for 2024, and $7,300 for 2025. Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will help us continue the work that Christ has entrusted to us. |
