This week’s Monday Morning Memo highlights opportunities for prayer and community across the Diocese of Jefferson City, including the groundbreaking of Immaculate Conception School. As we continue to hold victims of abuse in our prayers throughout this month, we look ahead to participating in Blue Sunday later in April, reflect on Pro-Life Amendment 3, and anticipate the upcoming visit of Bishop Mark J. Seitz, along with other events across the diocese.

As we continue in the joy of the Easter season, we are called to renewal, hope, and deeper faith. This week’s memo invites you to grow in that joy through prayer, service, and care for others. We invite you to take part in the National Child Abuse Prevention Month and outreach efforts like Catholic Charities’ Blessing Barrels.

As we journey together in faith, we share important updates from our diocese that reflect our commitment to community and service. This edition highlights recent pastoral council appointments, information on Amendment 3, and opportunities to gather in fellowship and worship. Join us for events such as the Chrism Mass, the Heart of a Hero Men’s Conference, and the Women’s Spring Pilgrimage, along with parish missions, youth gatherings, and meaningful service opportunities like the Blessing Barrels initiative through Catholic Charities.

The Diocese of Jefferson City invites all the faithful to deepen their prayer and witness to the dignity of human life. Join us for a Holy Hour for Life with Bishop Ralph B. O’Donnell this week, Wednesday, March 25, at the Cathedral of St. Joseph. Together, we will unite in prayer for the protection of every human person from conception to natural death.

We invite you to review the important announcements, events, and opportunities for formation and fellowship included in this week’s memo, and to share them within your parish communities.

In the coming weeks, we invite the faithful to join Bishop O’Donnell for the Holy Hour for Life at the Cathedral of St. Joseph. We will also be celebrating a diocesan event in honor of St. Oscar Romero. Among the many upcoming opportunities are the Chrism Mass, Heart of a Hero Men’s Conference, the Women’s Spring Pilgrimage, and youth fellowship events like Fishers of Men.

Please review the announcements and share them within your parish communities.

In the coming weeks, there are several gatherings for prayer, fellowship, and spiritual renewal, including Mass celebrations and faith-supporting events. These offer opportunities to grow in community and deepen our relationship with Christ. We invite you to explore the upcoming events and join fellow Catholics from across the diocese.
