As we begin a new year, we
are always reminded of the
future and what it might hold.
To begin the new year, I will be
asking our parish council to
begin a long-range planning
process. At our next parish
council meeting, we will begin
to look at our needs as a parish
and what those needs might
look like in the next ten to
twenty years. We will revisit our
parish pastoral plan, but just as
importantly, we will be
discussing what our facility will
need and what needs to be
upgraded in the future. If you
have any comments or input,
please send me an email at
contact a member of the
parish council. Have a happy
new year!
Peace and God Bless,
Fr. Doke

WOMEN’S MINISTRY VIDEO SERIES The Women’s Ministry of Jefferson City
was established to help the women of
our diocese connect with each other
so that we can support each other in
our spiritual journeys. Some of the
women of our diocese have shared
their stories in podcasts. These stories
(diojeffcity.org/womens-ministry/
reflections-from-within/) are from
ordinary women doing the best they
can to serve their families, their
parishes, their communities and, above
all, their God. Their experiences tell our
story, too, about times of sorrow,
challenges, hope, faith, love and
joy. Each week, there will be a new
podcast on this website. Let us go to
our favorite resting places with our
favorite beverages and spend some
time with our sisters in Christ by listening
to these podcasts.
