From the Diocese of Joliet
The Center for Family Ministry
recognizes how difficult it is for families that have
experienced a painful transition such as divorce or
death of a spouse. One of the things that we do at The
Center for Family Ministry is offer and promote programs
to assist families as they experience the sorrowful
times of their lives. On that note, we would like to
inform you about an upcoming event that you may wish to
attend.
On
Saturday, March 20, 2010, The Center for Family
Ministry is sponsoring a conference entitled, Risking
Faith, Achieving Joy. The day, exclusively
for the divorced and widowed and those who care about
them, features Father Tony Palazzolo.
Father
Tony is a consultant for the Family Life Office of the
Diocese of St. Augustine in Florida, where he presents
workshops and seminars on parenting, divorce adjustment,
faith, relationships and other related subjects. In
2008, he was awarded the James J. Young award by the
Catholic Divorced Ministry for his many years of
dedicated service to this ministry.
The
day will also include reflection, prayer, discussion,
and some time for relaxation, and will end with a 4 p.m.
Vigil Mass, celebrated by Bishop Imesch. The
requested $35.00 donation includes morning coffee,
lunch, and materials. You may register by calling The
Center for Family Ministry (815-838-5334). All faiths
are welcome to come. |
Pastoral care
derives it’s name and nature from the meaning of shepherd and
suggests the work of the shepherd with the flock.
