Stephen Ministry Information Night

Bringing Stephen Ministry to all of our Parishes!

Our six-parish family invites you to an Information Night to learn more about Stephen Ministry—a Christ-centered ministry that equips lay people to provide one-to-one care to those who are hurting. The evening will include a detailed explanation of the ministry and time to answer any questions you may have. You can also learn more about Stephen Ministry by visiting StephenMinistries.org.

This event is open to all parishioners from our six-parish family. To RSVP, please call St. Paul Parish at (937) 836-7535 by September 15th, or contact one of our Stephen Leaders directly:

Barb Franz — (937) 776-7375

Diane Huelsman — (937) 416-8870

Steve Lewis — (937) 654-5740

Stephen Ministry is a Christ-centered ministry where laypeople receive extensive training to walk with those going through life’s most difficult seasons—loss of a loved one, loneliness, depression, divorce, health challenges, and more. While Stephen Ministers are not professional counselors, they are compassionate listeners who provide confidential, one-on-one care grounded in faith.

This expansion will ensure that more individuals and families have access to a caring companion when they need it most.

Pastoral Priority Plan

Pastoral Priority Plan Feedback

In February of 2024, our St. Gaspar Family of Parishes took a significant step forward in the Beacons of Light process by engaging in a transformative journey known as “Next Generation Parish.” Under the leadership of Fr. Tony and with the invaluable support of the Catholic Leadership Institute, we formed an Envisioning Team with a representative from each of our six parishes. The team has worked diligently over the past several months to create a comprehensive Pastoral Priority Plan to guide our parish community into a vibrant and sustainable future. The Pastoral Priority Plan includes our family purpose, vision, and values, which we hope will inspire and unite us all as we move forward. The details of this plan were shared on September 14/15, 2024. This form has been created to allow parishioners to provide feedback about the Pastoral Priority Plan. The team and our Pastor, Fr. Tony Fortman C.PP.S, will receive the input.
