Mission 2019
After the Mission
This past week the parishes of the Lumen Christi Cohort came together for our second Cohort Mission. St. Raphael-Holy Angels parish hosted the event. Our speaker was Fr. Dave Pivonka who focused on Spiritual Freedom – God’s Life Changing Gift. The Mission began with a “Life Teen” celebration at Sunday Mass; followed by fellowship & food, confession and adoration targeted specifically to our youth and young adults.
Fr. Dave spoke to a full assembly about the chains of sin and suffering that bind us and keep us in spiritual slavery. He told us about God’s unchanging, unassailable, never ending love and how it sets us free. Our freedom is a gift from God that is ours to accept or reject. Fr. Dave repeatedly invited attendees to be still, look inward and invite the Holy Spirit to guide them in identifying the root of their bondage; whether it be sin, suffering, shame, hurtful memories or areas of unforgiveness.
Did you miss the Mission and wish you hadn’t, or did you go but want more of Fr. Dave’s wisdom? The upcoming “Life in the Spirit Seminar” is based on a series of videos by Fr. Dave. The Seminar starts Monday, May 6 at 7 pm in the St. Gregory the Great Parish Center. Come on out to continue your pursuit of Spiritual Freedom – God’s Life Changing Gift. Go to stgregorythegreatchurch.org/lss for more details.
What does it mean to you to be free? Father Dave Pivonka will inspire you to embrace the truth of who you really are, a son or daughter of a God who made you free, in freedom.Spread the good news of the mission to family,
