This is a way we help parishioners feel connected by visiting and listening to them in their own homes. Outreach visits take place in the spring and fall by teams of two people. A neighborhood is selected and all St. Thomas parishioners within that area are visited.
“I sense that the moment has come to commit all of the church’s energies to a new evangelization… No believer in Christ, no institution of the church can avoid this supreme duty: to proclaim Christ to all peoples.”
How can I possibly “proclaim Christ to all peoples” here in Crystal Lake, Illinois? We have a unique opportunity here at St. Thomas to do just that. “Parish Outreach Visitation” is a way to reach out to all parishioners and help them feel connected and listened to by visiting them in their own homes. Outreach visits take place in the spring and fall by teams of two people per home. A neighborhood is selected and all parishioners within that area belonging to St. Thomas the Apostle are called and visited. It’s an exciting time for us to be taking up our role of evangelization in the universal Catholic Church, by meeting others where they are right here in Crystal Lake, Illinois. The next Fall Outreach will be held in September 2009. The teams of two will have 5-7 families to visit in a three week period of time. Call JoEllen Gregus @ |
