For the past several months, the priests of the Diocese of Grand Rapids and deanery planning committees, formed from representatives from each parish, have been working on a draft of a plan with recommendations for each deanery and parish/grouping of parishes. The plan will propose changes and new initiatives. A draft is now ready for parishes to review, discuss, and respond.
On Sunday, April 6 at 10:10 a.m. (immediately following the 9:00 a.m. Mass) the draft will be presented to parishioners for their comments and suggestions. We kindly ask that you RSVP below if you plan to be in attendance.
Help us shape the future of the diocese and St. Anthony of Padua Parish and keep “Rooted in Christ” in your prayers.
