Do you feel a special call to minister to those who have experienced loss? The Diocese has developed a 7-week Grief Recovery Series that is meant to be facilitated at parishes. To become a facilitator of this series, you simply need to be a caring, faithful person who wants to help others. Having experienced loss yourself can add an even stronger connection with the ministry. This training supports both new facilitators and seasoned facilitators who want to refresh their knowledge of this ministry.

Bilingual Spanish Mass

“Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. This 14-part video series features Fr. Dave Pivonka and various interviews, exploring how the Spirit moves freely, powerfully, and sometimes unexpectedly in our lives. Shot in varied locations from Niagara Falls to the California desert, The Wild Goose invites viewers to an encounter, or a renewed encounter, with the Holy Spirit. Come and join as we watch, discuss, and discover a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit today.
