We\u2019re growing: more young families, more baptisms, more people becoming Catholic, and more people coming home to the faith after years away. That doesn\u2019t happen by accident. It\u2019s the Holy Spirit moving through this community, through the prayers, service, hospitality, and witness of so many people. Like Jeremiah\u2019s image of God\u2019s word as a fire in his bones, when we encounter something real in Jesus, we can\u2019t help but share it\u2014and that faith spreads. We see it especially in ministries like Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, where children aren\u2019t simply learning facts about God; they\u2019re being given space to encounter Christ. And as our parish grows, we\u2019re asking an important question: how can everything we do point more clearly to Jesus and make it easier for people to encounter Him? That\u2019s at the heart of conversations about our sanctuary and parish spaces. Nothing has been decided, but the vision is simple: put Jesus at the center\u2014literally and spiritually. God is doing great things here, and He\u2019s not finished with this parish. So let\u2019s keep saying yes to Him and stay open to where He leads us next.
