Les prometí el mes pasado una carta más detallada describiendo la visión para una renovación de nosotros mismos, así como la renovación de nuestra Diócesis. Me complace anunciar que esa carta ha sido enviada a sus pastores, y ellos la estudiarán para proporcionar la dirección a seguir de cada parroquia durante el próximo año. Esta carta también estará disponible para usted a través del sitio web diocesano en diocesecc.org/EC2022 y en una memoria USB que estará disponible más adelante en enero. Les invito a todos, tanto individualmente como en organizaciones y ministerios, a meditar en el documento para asegurarnos que cuando llegue el momento de nuestro gran Congreso Eucarístico en el 2022, nuestra visión de renovación haya comenzado a tener lugar en toda nuestra Diócesis.

I promised you last month a more detailed letter describing the vision for the renewal of ourselves as well as the renewal of our diocese. I am happy to announce that that letter has been sent to your pastors, and they will be studying it to provide each parish direction over the coming year. This letter will also be available to you via the diocesan website at diocesecc.org/EC2022 and on a thumb drive to be made available later in January. I invite all of you individually and as organizations and ministries to meditate on the document to ensure that by the time of our great Eucharistic Congress in 2022, our vision of renewal will have begun to take place throughout our entire Diocese.
