Prayer
to
Saint John
Neumann
Merciful
Father, You have given me all
that I have in this world, even
life itself.
In all my daily needs,
help me to remember the needs of
others too.
Make me aware of the need
to pray to You not just for
myself but for the Church, the
Pope, for the clergy and for
people who suffer any need.
Make
me selfless as Saint John
Neumann was.
Throughout my life, give
me the grace to direct my first
thoughts to the service of You
and of others.
Make my prayer –
“Your will be done” knowing
that in Your mercy and love,
Your will for me is my
sanctification.

Saint
John Neumann, you helped
organize Catholic education in
the
United States.
Please watch over all
Catholic schools and help them
be a model of Christianity in
their actions as well as their
words.
I
ask this through Jesus Christ,
our Lord.
Amen

Strategic
Planning Process for Schools
Includes Local Consultative
Groups
Local Consultative Groups from
every Catholic school in the
Diocese were invited to a
meeting on April 6 at
Bishop
Hoban
High
School,
Wilkes-Barre,
for a briefing on the Diocesan
Strategic Planning Process.
These groups, which have been
organized for each school,
consist of representatives
from the school and/or its
supporting parish(es).
|
|
Auxiliary
Bishop John M. Dougherty,
Vicar for Administration,
opened the meeting with a
prayer and introductory
remarks. |
 |
|

|
The
briefing was then conducted by
Sister
Mary
Anne Heenan, C.S.J., from
Meitler Consultants. She
provided an overview of the
strategic planning process,
emphasizing that it is still
in the very early stages and
no conclusions or decisions
have been determined. The
Local Consultative Groups will
be part of the entire process,
she said, and their input will
be essential in developing a
strategic plan for Catholic
education in the
Diocese.
The Local Consultative Groups
were asked to review several
questions and return their
responses to the Diocese. |
