To me, being engaged in the life of the Church mea To me, being engaged in the life of the Church means to serve — to serve in whatever capacity the Lord calls us and with whatever gifts he bestows upon us. By serving, we connect with both him and with one another and grow in our own spiritual journey. — Rita Meyer, St. John the Baptist Parish, Meire Grove, One in Faith ACC #engagingthelaity #laity #catholic #catholiclife #catholicfaith #catholicproudstcloud #allthingsnew
To me, engagement in the life of the Church means To me, engagement in the life of the Church means recognizing Jesus Christ in all people, those I encounter and especially those in most need of outreach. This perspective informs my prayer life, social engagement and works of mercy. I can simultaneously minister to them and learn from them. — Benedictine Brother Jacob Berns, Saint John’s Abbey, Collegeville #engagingthelaity #laity #catholic #catholiclife #catholicfaith #catholicproudstcloud #allthingsnew

We invite people of all ages to experience the peace and joy that comes through loving one another. We are the Church, learning as we go. — Franciscan Sister Cordy Korkowski, St. Francis Sisters of Little Falls #engagingthelaity #laity #catholic #catholiclife #catholicfaith #catholicproudstcloud #allthingsnew⁠
