As we begin this first week of May, a month dedicated in a special way to the Blessed Mother, we are invited to renew our commitment to prayer, service, and care for one another. This week’s Monday Morning Memo includes important Safe Environment reminders, along with opportunities for formation, events, and resources across the Diocese of Jefferson City. May these offerings support you in your ministry and strengthen our shared mission to serve God’s people with faith and integrity

In this edition, you’ll find upcoming diocesan events, the Midwest March for Life, the National Day of Prayer at the Capitol, and a variety of parish and ministry gatherings. We also highlight formation opportunities such as the School of Leaders, workshops, and retreats designed to support ongoing leadership and spiritual growth.

Additionally, there are important reminders for parish bookkeepers regarding upcoming collection deadlines, along with ways to serve and engage through Catholic Charities and other diocesan initiatives.

The Women’s Spring Pilgrimage and the Midwest March for Life offer meaningful opportunities to gather in prayer, strengthen community, and witness to the faith. Join others from across the diocese in these moments of reflection, fellowship, and commitment to the dignity of human life.
