Lenten Inspiration for Families
As your Lenten plans evolve, please know that the Office for Parish Life Office remains focused on your work and ministry therefore, we will continue to send you resources to stay connected during Lent. Below is a Lenten Retreat offered through Sadlier on January 21, 2021 beginning at 11:00AM. We hope that you can join us. If you are interested in attending this retreat, please email jdouglas@dioceseofscranton.org.
The three Lenten practices – prayer, penance, and almsgiving – offer a particular way of being lived out within the home. This is especially true as we navigate these
challenging times. Join us for a webinar on ideas for families that mesh with the fabric of their lives during the six weeks of Lent. Suggestions for resources, online inspiration, and ways of connecting home and parish will be offered.

Diocesan Certificate in Lay Ministry is Accepting Applications for January 2021
The Office for Parish Life encourages parish leaders to consider application for the Diocesan Certificate in Lay Ministry for January 2021!
The Diocesan Certificate in Lay Ministry is a ministry formation program designed to equip and advance the servant leadership capacities of individuals serving their parish in areas such as: Parish Pastoral Councils
Directors of Religious Education and Catechists
Liturgical Coordinators
Parish Staff
Volunteer Ministry teams, and others
Through independent online study with the University of Dayton’s Virtual Learning Community for Faith Formation (VLCFF)—in English or Spanish language tracks—as well as ministry skills workshops and opportunities for prayer and reflection, Diocesan Certificate candidates enrich their knowledge base, while also learning practical tools for effective parish ministry in their faith communities.
The Office for Parish Life anticipates welcoming new candidates into the Diocesan Certificate in Lay Ministry program in the New Year, beginning with a ‘virtual’ Orientation Retreat experience on January 30, 2021 from 9:00AM to 12:00PM.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Kitty Scanlan, Coordinator for Lay Ministry Formation, at 570-207-2213, or by email at Kitty-Scanlan@dioceseofscranton.org for application information, materials, and application submissions.
