New pastoral letter by WV Catholic Bishop

Sky,

 

I would appreciate your sharing this message with the CARLA group.  Thanks!  John Finnell

 

 

Dear Spiritual Leader,

 

Please share this invitation to your congregation. 

 

Poverty will be the topic of a new pastoral letter to be published by the Most Rev. Michael J. Bransfield, Catholic Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston, a diocese that includes all of West Virginia. 

 

The bishop would like to hear from as many people as possible who can share their observations and insights about people who experience poverty in our state.  Representatives of the bishop will hold "listening sessions" at various locations around the state in coming months.

 

One of these listening sessions will be held Sunday, March 25, at 1:30pm at Blessed Sacrament Church, 305 E Street, South Charleston.  It will be facilitated by Deacon Todd Garland, executive director of the diocesan Office of Social Ministries. 

 

Anyone and everyone, from any religious background, is most welcome to participate.  No advance registration is required. 

 

Particular topics of interest are:  (1) the central issues that contribute to poverty in our state;  (2) the Church's response to those in poverty;  (3) what the Bishop should know about poverty;  (4) what the Bishop should say about poverty.

 

Over the past six years Bishop Bransfield has promulgated three pastoral letters on the topics of  health, miners' safety, and  behavioral health & substance abuse. These documents may be found on the diocesan website at: www.dwc.org. Then click "Bishop Bransfield" and "Pastoral Letters." 

 

For more information contact Deacon Garland at 304-380-0155 or the pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church, Rev. John H. Finnell at 304-744-5523.

Could please post to CARLA folks...

 

Being the new kid on the block so to speak, are there any community events during Holy Week?  Does anyone have a Maundy Thursday or Good Friday event?  Trying not to reinvent the wheel if things exist.

 

Blessings!

This training will be provided by a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers. Motivational Interviewing [MI] originally emerged in the field of addictions treatment as an alternative to traditional confrontational, authoritarian methods. Since MI's inception, it has proven effective in a wide variety of settings involved in assisting people in making positive behavior changes. MI is a guiding style of communication for increasing intrinsic motivation for positive change by helping people explore and resolve their ambivalence about changing their behavior. Customized Training Three introductory workshops will be held for MI. Each workshop will be 2.5 hours in length. Presentations are intended to develop awareness of the person-centered spirit of motivational interviewing, communication skills, and motivational interviewing strategies. Workshops will be tailored to the needs of both psychotherapeutic professionals and other professionals involved in behavior change (medical staff, clergy, criminal justice, and youth workers, etc.) About the Trainer Dr. Jack Stringfellow is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has earned multiple degrees in Rehabilitation Counseling, including an MA from the University of South Florida in 1985, and a Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) degree from Boston University in 2000.

Jack has been professionally training human services personnel in person-centered communication skills since 1985.
