This full-time position with benefits, available after July 1, 2018, is located in Grand Island. Principal duties and responsibilities include: managing all aspects of diocesan facilities, services and supplies; reviewing, revising and implementing related diocesan policies and procedures; acquiring, supervising and evaluating dioce-san employees; attending to all matters concerning hu-man resources. Requirements for this leadership position include: active, practicing Roman Catholic in full com-munion with the Catholic Church; a degree in Business Administration or history of successful business manage-ment is preferred; demonstrated experience in human resources preferred; outstanding skills in both organiza-tion and communication; superior discretion and strict confidentiality is essential.

Seven Sisters Apostolate is in our Dio-

cese. Bishop Hanefeldt gave his permission and bless-

ing for the apostolate to begin in our Diocese. According to the website, the Seven Sisters Apostolate began in the Diocese of St. Paul, MN. The Apostolate is based around the following struc-ture:

1. The group is comprised of women; however, men

can serve as substitutes.

2. One of the "seven sisters" will be designated as the

organizer and guide for that group and is called the an-choress.

3. Each woman chooses one day in the week to pray,

but the commitment is for that day, not a specific time, so the hour of prayer can be served at any time during that day.

4. The hour is ideally prayed in the presence of the

Blessed Sacrament in a chapel or church, but is not re-stricted to the parish of the priest.

5. Prayers are directed towards the "office of the shep-

herd" more than the individual. Prayers would be for the pastor of a parish and his mission and needs at that par-ish. After the "seven sisters" are designated for the pas-tor, we would then ask for seven more "sisters" to sign up to pray for the Associate Pastor & / or Retired Priests in the Diocese.

6. The Holy Hour would be solely and specifically for

the intentions of the priest and praying for his deepening devotion of Mary. The commitment is for one year. If anyone is interested in being one of the "seven sisters" or would like more information, please contact:

One God. One Church. One mission. The PRO-LIFE Crossroads Walkers are arriving in North Platte for the weekend of June 23/24. Every sum-mer since World Youth Day in Denver a group of walkers have made an annual trek from San Fran-cisco to Wash, DC, transforming lives in response to the call to all the faithful by Blessed Pope John Paul !! in his encyclical Evangelium Vitae.
