Last Collar Standing
It’s happening again! Watch as 12 priests compete LIVE in the 2nd Annual “Last Collar Standing!” They will compete in various activities and vote each other “off the island” until only one priest remains. The livestream will begin January 10 at 4 p.m. and can be found on the diocesan youth webpage. Don’t forget to root for your favorite priest! To sign up for updates on the event, click here.

Come Follow Me
“Come Follow Me” is a catechetical model that St. George Parish has used for several years for their K-5 Family Formation in-person sessions. There will be a seminar on the program January 16 at St. George Parish, Hartford, that will last from (tentatively) 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. It is designed for two purposes: 1) reinvigoration and vision casting for our catechists who already use it and 2) a sort of come-and-see for other priests, DRE’s, etc. who are curious about this model. The day will feature two experts in this methodology: Sr. Hyacinthe, OP, joining us virtually from France and Sr. Madeleine Marie, SsEW, who will join us in-person, visiting from Alabama.
Lumen Christi
Lumen Christi is taking the place of Totus Tuus this summer in the Diocese of Sioux Falls! Find out all the information about this program and reserve a team of missionaries for your parish at our webpage.
Bulletin Blurb: Totus Tuus is now going by Lumen Christi. If you are a college student looking for a fulfilling summer job, pray about becoming a Lumen Christi Missionary for the summer of 2021. Find all the info at www.sfcatholic.org/youth/lumen-christi/
“Power Hour” for Parish Leaders
Every Tuesday at 11 a.m. Eric Gallagher, Dr. Chris Burgwald, and Fr. Scott Traynor host a “power hour” for the parish leaders via Zoom. Our hope is that this weekly hour will draw everyone who is actively engaged as leaders (priests, parish staff, and others) around the diocese to rally around Bishop DeGrood’s vision and will offer very direct responses to needs we are seeing. These meetings will be recorded. To get involved in these meetings, please ensure you are on the PCL email list and join our new PCL community platform ComeFollow.Me. If you are not already receiving these PCL emails, you can sign up for them at the For Youth Leaders page on the diocesan webpage.
