How could the God who made this vast universe really know each of us by name and have a relationship with each one of us that depends on how we respond. It is mind-boggling, and awesome, but it is what Jesus promises and what many have experienced. It is the first step of becoming a disciple, that is to have a life-changing encounter with the risen Lord. In this family we continue to lay out the pastoral plan for our parish including the characteristics of a missionary disciple.
