After participating in a leadership training program for bishops, our bishop, Anthony Taylor, has set priorities for our diocese for the next 18 months.  These have come-out in brief form in the "Arkansas Catholic" a number of weeks ago. Next weekend the bishop will speak to all the Catholics of Arkansas during the homily time about these priorities. Please pray this week that our Catholics throughout Arkansas, and especially in our parish, will respond positively to the challenges that the bishop places before us and find ourselves growing in The Lord during this period of time.
