What are the Parish Petals?
|
|
In order to help St. Anne’s Parish fulfill her Mission to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ more effectively St. Anne’s Parish is about the business of Parish Renewal. By making a continued and conscious effort to work and live together as the Body of Christ, as St. Paul states in his letter to the Corinthians… “As a body is one though many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ’ (1Cor 12:12) we will develop a deeper parish spirituality as we begin praying together across organizational lines.
The flower is an image that St. Anne’s has adopted from the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) and our Diocese. Six petals are used to organize the 46 Parish Ministries. The center consists of Clergy, Pastoral Council, Finance Council, and Ministry Team.
The Parish Ministry Petals is a parish reorganization process, one that allows each of our organizations to have a stronger voice in the decision making process of our parish community. Each ministry has elected a representative who sits on the Petal Committees and a representative who sits on the Pastoral Council. These representatives will ensure that the voice of our parishioners and their ideas are being communicated to the Pastor and the larger leadership team of our parish community.
- The purpose of the Parish Ministry Petals is to plan events for our Parish Community, as well as discuss areas of concern within their particular petal and the parish.
- The Parish Ministry Petals will enhance and encourage good communication between ministries and allow for an opportunity to more effectively minister to others the Good News of Jesus Christ.
- Each Petal will elect a representative to sit on the Pastoral Council.
- The Pastoral Council will consist of the Pastoral Council Chair, the Pastor, a Clergy representative and 6 Petal Council Representatives.

We express our desire to be renewed as one as we pray together our
St. Anne’s Parish Ministry Petals Prayer
Glory to you,
O Lord our God,
Your love calls us to be your people.
By sharing our many and diverse gifts
we share in your mission.
We ask you, Lord,
to shape us into a community of faith.
Nourish us by your word and sacraments
that we may grow into the image of Jesus.
Through the power of your Holy Spirit,
heal us that we, in turn,
may heal the wounded.
Form us to be instruments of love,
justice, and peace in our land,
and send us to proclaim your saving work.
RENEW us, Lord,
that we may renew the face of the earth.
Amen.
St. Anne, Pray For Us.
