Do you thirst for a more intimate relationship with God?Do you hunger for increased knowledge of the faith?
If yes, IMPACT is for you!
IMPACT is a two-year program of the Archdiocese of Dubuque in collaboration with Loras College. The first year of the program focuses on personal and spiritual growth while the second year will focus on the intellectual and pastoral components of our Catholic faith.
IMPACT is open to any adult who desires a deeper relationship with Christ and a greater understanding of the Catholic faith.
A new group began in September 2017 and is meeting at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Hiawatha. Nine people from the Heart of Mary cluster are in this group, including: Christy Blake, Ellen Herman, David Janssen, Jenny Janssen, Kathy Mossman, Jessica Ollinger, Vicki Ramsey, David Weber and Patty Weber.

Congratulations!
Congratulations to the six members of our cluster who recently completed IMPACT, the lay formation program for the Archdiocese of Dubuque. They were recognized and commissioned at a special Mass celebrated by Archbishop Michael Jackels on Saturday, May 6th at St. Mary, Waverly.
We commend this for this accomplishment! In addition to demonstrating a desire to continue to grow in knowledge of our faith, all of them are active in our parishes/cluster. We are grateful for their
commitment and witness as faithful disciples of Christ!
