Our Diocese leadership is very encouraged by the turnout and response to Monday’s His Way at Work kickoff and Consecration Mass. More than 60 guests joined us!
This past Monday also marked the beginning of the His Way at Work – Memphis Chapter within our Diocese. As a Memphis Chapter, we will begin forming forums—small groups where business owners gather for fellowship, faith formation, and support as they live out their consecration journey.
Several attendees have already asked, “What’s next?” Our Diocese and His Way at Work would like to share more about the next steps and hear your thoughts as we begin building this community.
Next Steps
1. Register for His Way at Work Membership.
Please complete your registration by going to the HWAW Website before our gathering next Wednesday. There is no charge for membership. Registration is important because our initial forums will be formed from our registered members. This will help us include you as we begin organizing groups, including those at local parishes.
2. Build Our HWAW – Memphis Chapter.
We will begin formalizing our Memphis Chapter, identifying opportunities to launch one or more forums, and determining how best to serve and support our members.
HWAW Steering Committee
To help get things started, our Diocese has invited Jonathan Frase, Shawn Mitchell, Cecilia Fay, JT Novarese, John Salajka, and Meagan Apang to serve with me on our initial Steering Committee. This is simply an opportunity to help us get the chapter off the ground, without any long-term commitment at this stage.
