Synod Implementation
2025-2026
Reclaiming the Lord’s Day
As we give focus to “Reclaiming Sundays,” we start with the importance of participating in Sunday Mass. Jesus Christ died so that we may have eternal life; God asks us to worship Him every Sunday (and Holy Day of Obligation) so that we can become the saints that He wants us to be. As Dr. Naughton of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas likes to state, “If we don’t get Sundays right, we won’t get Mondays right.”
As we continue our “Reclaiming Sundays” initiative for the year, the theme for December is “Music and Prayer.” The Church season leading up to Christmas is Advent, so pray with an Advent wreath. If daily seems like too much, aim for each Sunday of Advent. Light a candle (or the number of candles representing which week of Advent we are in) and pray as a family. Start with the sign of the Cross, ask God to prepare your households’ hearts for Christmas, pray a prayer or two that everyone knows (e.g. Our Father, Hail Mary), and sing a song such as “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”

Small Groups are here at
St Gregory the Great
Archbishop Hebda’s pastoral letter, You Will Be My Witnesses, sets forth a beautiful path for our Archdiocese: a way for every parish to be, as Pope Francis says, a “community of communities.” St. Gregory the Great parish is taking the next step on this path in Lent by launching small groups designed to: foster personal relationships, build community, and provide formation so we all may grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ. Each Small Group will focus on the topic of Prayer throughout Lent and move towards other topics after Lent such as Eucharist, Gospels, and Saints
Be a part of this mission: join a Small Group! It’s not too late (nor will it ever be – these groups are ongoing) to sign up for one, so please contact the parish office if you would like to do so. 651-674-4056 or info@stgregorynb.org.
Fr. Matt’s Christian Resource Recommendations
We live in an age like none other, especially with regards to communications. For the faith, we have more resources than ever before. I would like to share my favorite ones with you in the hope that you would also benefit from them. As I discover other resources, I will share them on the parish website.
