An Update from the Ministry Architects Renovation Team

Dear Parish Family,

We are excited to share a brief update from our work with Ministry Architects.  Since September, we have met weekly to prayerfully and purposefully continue shaping our shared vision, values, and goals for the future of our children and youth formation program.

Currently, our focus includes refining program formats, establishing effective feedback loops, recruiting and supporting volunteers, clarifying leadership roles and our organizational chart, and building systems that nurture spiritual depth. We are also working on better integrating youth into parish life, strengthening our confirmation process, designing engaging and magnetic mission opportunities, and creating a plan for long-term, preventative maintenance of our formation program structures and tasks.

This work is collaborative and spirit-led—we are grateful to be walking alongside our clergy, staff, and ministry leaders to build a vibrant and sustainable future together.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support.

With gratitude,

The Ministry Architects Renovation Team

Sandra Hartley, Terry Hathaway, Billy McGuire, Marshall Morton, and Madeleine Preston
