Jesus
is the perfect steward — watching carefully over all who have been entrusted to
Him by the Father and then sending them all out into the world in service. May
I similarly protect and wisely use the gifts entrusted to me!

Phase II Speak Up Sessions:
Generating Ideas
Phase II sessions began
on May 3 and are being held until June 17 throughout our Diocese. Come

II is different and distinct. Your input is important! What will you discuss? Questions our
Bishop has chosen for careful consideration. The synod website (www.diometuchen.org/synod) has copies of:
- the key questions for
discussion under six topical areas.
- information about the
Catholic context for asking these questions.
- programs and services
already provided by the Diocese of Metuchen.
Check the synod website for dates, times, and locations of Phase II
sessions on Education; Parish Life; Personnel in Ministry; Social Justice;
Unity; and Worship & Spirituality. Quick and easy registration is available

Your ideas will help shape what delegates focus on
during synod sessions.
Your
pre-registration will help us plan!

“I know not what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be truly
happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.”
Albert Schweitzer
“To everyone there comes that special moment when we are figuratively
tapped on the shoulder and offered a chance to do a very special thing – unique
to us and fitted to our own talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds us unprepared or unqualified for the
work that could be our finest hour.”
Winston Churchill
