“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.
