Win, Build, Send: PETs inspired, equipped for mission

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

“After three years of preaching this mission to the diocese, it is clear to me: People are hungry and ready to be sent,” Christopher Hurtubise said at the May Parish Evangelization Teams workshop in Rice Lake. The Director of the Office of Evangelization and Missionary Discipleship affirmed, “This workshop gave it!”

He added that his office is eager to continue doing everything they can to provide more opportunities like this to implement Bishop James P. Powers’ “vision of creating a ‘diocese of apostles.’”

On Saturday, May 17, almost 100 people gathered at St. Joseph’s Church in Rice Lake; more than 60 attended the same workshop on Sunday, May 18, at Nativity of Our Lord in Rhinelander. Parishes and parish clusters represented included: Amery, Ashland, Barron, Bayfield, Boulder Junction, Eagle River, Frederic, Glenwood City, Hammond, Hayward, Hudson, Hurley, Iron River, Lac de Flambeau, Ladysmith, Medford, Mellen, Merrill, New Richmond, Park Falls, Phillips, Rhinelander, Rice Lake, River Falls, Solon Springs, Spooner, Somerset, Tomahawk, Webster, Winter and Woodruff.

Workshop presenters AJ Garcia and Tyler Degen both serve in regional leadership roles with FOCUS, the Fellowship of Catholic University Students. With the theme “Life of Discipleship,” workshop participants were guided through concrete elements for living as disciples and tools to implement this vision at home.
