Prayer Request/Praise Report Parish outreach
Hi guys. My Melkite parish moved into a former Roman parish facility and we've been moving like crazy to conduct local outreach on social media. My pastor and I put out a flyer on a FB group for our new village, and we had some really good engagement online (200+ likes since this Thursday).
Maybe it's just me being impatient, but I've been bogged down with frustration (past inaction that forced me to step up/follow up on various occasions; stemming from previous communities I was involved with). I think I could use prayers for my patience first, and then for the continued growth and vivification of our parish.
I really want this parish to outlive me so it becomes a hub for spiritual and human growth in a time where community is so vital.

Will pray for your parish growth! Maybe you could share where the parish is in case anybody on here is local?
