Following up on the overwhelming success of Daring to Walk the Walk, our Pastoral Staff believes that the next series in the Walking Toward Eternity Program will enhance the lives of those who make a commitment to walk this journey of faith.  The new Program, entitled Walking Toward Eternity Engaging in the Struggles of Your Heart, is a challenging study that can open our eyes to obstacles in our Christian walk such as greed, envy, fear and shame.  Through prayer, reflection, guidance and the aid of the Holy Spirit, we begin to engage these difficulties in a positive way as we continue toward our goal of union with Christ.

If you missed the last series, start a new journey with this Program.

The Program will be held for eight weeks in the Msgr. Woods Hall on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM beginning on January 30^th until March 27^th (no session on Ash Wednesday, February 13th).

The annual installation of members of the St. Frances Cabrini Parish Pastoral Council was held on Sunday, January 6th during the 11:00 AM Mass.  Family members and parishioners looked on as the Council members were called forward to the sanctuary where Monsignor McCormac acknowledged the responsibility of their ministry of service and prayed a blessing over them.   The congregation then expressed their support through applause.

Parish Pastoral Council members serve to advise and make recommendations to the the Pastor with regard to pastoral issues and planning for the vitality of the Parish.  Council members also serve as a vehicle through which all members of the Parish may share ideas concerning the Parish Community.   The first meeting of the Parish Pastoral Council for the new year will be held on Thursday, January 10th.  For a listing of Parish Pastoral Council members, please refer to the Our Parish tab on the home page of the Parish website.
