This week, September 21-23, the priests of the Diocese will be gathered with Bishop Gruss for our Assembly of Priests.  Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the priests will be gathering either on-line or at the Center for Ministry.  This year, our presenter will be the Spitzer Group and will be a follow-up from our last year’s assembly working on how to continue to work together as a presbyterate and to be effective together for our diocese.  Even though they are going to be close to home, they will still be “away” from the parish and unable to attend to funerals and the like.   We ask that you keep Bishop Gruss and the priests of the diocese in your prayers this week.
