May Monthly Letter: A Message From The USA Super Region Responsible Couple

Happy Easter!  This is an Easter Season that begins with more change than typical.  We know that you, along with your Teams, are praying for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis as he was laid to rest this last weekend.  Let us also pray for the cardinals as they begin the conclave on May 7th.  We look forward to the plans that God has in store for the Holy Catholic Church and the Papacy with hope and unity.  We are also extremely grateful for the faithful service of Pope Francis.  May he rest in peace!

Change can be challenging, whether it is with leaders of the Church or with the Teams of Our Lady website!  We are excited to inform you of changes and opportunities occurring in Teams of Our Lady in the USA-SR this month.  

Website Update

It is official!  Effective May 26, 2025, we will be changing to a new website and membership database.  The look will be a bit different but fresher, and we hope you enjoy it.  We have more capabilities with the new platform and will be able to add more content. Our immediate focus will be getting more Retreat resources available to you as soon as possible.  

We also have an updated, safer and faster membership portal where you will be able to find more resources behind the member log in.  Every Team member should log in to verify your contact information and update anything that is not accurate in your account.  After this Monthly Letter, correspondence will be coming from the new email distribution system!  Please be on the lookout for additional correspondence and information about this transition this month as we prepare for May 26 and beyond.

We can not thank enough the people that have worked (and continue to work) tirelessly on this project.  Without the help and dedication of this team below, we would not have seen this transition become a reality.

Also, we want to thank Maureen and her team at eWebLife for all her help and support with our current platform over the last several years.  She helped us make monumental strides in technology advancements to update and maintain our membership records.  We are grateful for her and her team.  Maureen and her husband are members of Teams so we know she is still with us!  

2025-2026 Teams of Our Lady Study Topic “Love is Much More Than Love” 

Order the new study topic here.  Please pre-order the next study topic book entitled, “Love is Much More Than Love.”  This book is a compilation of writings by Fr. Henri Caffarel which the ERI has prepared to accompany next year’s theme: “Called to Live in Communion With Our Spouse.”  We know that some Teams meet 10 times a year and may be finishing up with this year’s study topic and beginning your summer break.  This is not so in all parts of the country.  Some Teams meet monthly all year long.  Regardless of which format your Team follows, please know that we are excited to have the new study topic ready for release in August 2026.  You must pre-order to be guaranteed hard copies for your team.

Magnificat 

We hope you received your Spring 2025 issue of the Magnificat in the mail.  If you did not receive (like us), please check out the publication on the website. Thank you to Carolyn Audije for all her work to make the Magnificat come to life and her husband Larry for his support!
