March 12, 2019In January, leaders of Christ the Redeemer’s many groups and ministries, along with staff members and clergy, came together for a day of prayer, fellowship and reflection. Rev. Sean Horrigan led the morning and presented on CtR’s Vision 2020, a goal-oriented and prayerfully discerned plan for moving the parish forward spiritually in the year to come. In 2020, Christ the Redeemer will celebrate its 40th anniversary. Fr. Sean challenged attendees to look within their groups and ministries for ways to continue to spread the Good News of the Gospel, and to “go and make disciples.”
More than 80 ministry heads attended the event, with representation from many church groups. It is our hope that every year we are able to host a day of gathering and prayer for our church leaders to come together, learn from one another and collaborate.
Parishioner Nancy Unverferth, who helps lead the Divine Mercy Cenacle study at CtR, said she enjoyed gathering with other ministry leaders and staff.
“I was struck by the sense of family,” Unverferth said. “I realized in a deeper way the immense love we all have for one another and serving the Lord through this beautiful parish we call home. It unified us.”
Fr. Sean even spoke at the day of prayer about Unverferth and her desire to help lead others spiritually.
“It’s too easy to just focus on the ministry the Lord has called me to work in and lose sight of the mission of the whole parish,” she said. “To come together as one in a spirit of prayer, led by Fr. Sean and the CtR staff, was a gift to me personally.”
