Real Presence Real Future

April 25, 2022
Feast of Saint Mark the Evangelist

My Brothers and Sisters,

The diocese has released the Second Round Draft Models for its Real Presence, Real Future initiative.  At this time, I am asking each of you to view the video and provide your feedback.
The links below will take you to these resources. Please remember these are simply ideas put forth by the diocese as a future plan; no changes will take place until our new Bishop approves them.

The current draft proposes that Blessed Sacrament and St. Francis partner while maintaining two worship sites and two schools. While the feedback form is open until June 30, I ask you to provide your feedback as soon as you are able. 

To learn more about Real Presence, Real Future and to sign up for updates, please visit the website linked below.

Thank you for your participation and feedback in this important step.

God bless,
Father Lonzo
