Articles of Incorporation
Under #4 Statement of Purpose of the Corporation
Change: Protestant Chaplaincy ( Unitarian Universalist Christian Fellowship) for New Life Catholic Ministry
An essential amendment to our not-for-profit corporation, Eric Michel Ministries International, was proposed. Our organization has always strived to practice the office of Chaplain. However, as we witness the evolving needs of the communities we serve, it has become clear that our statement of purpose requires refinement to reflect these changes.
After extensive consultations with our board of directors, we have unanimously agreed that our mission urgently needs to be adapted. We propose a strategic shift that will enhance our relevance and significantly increase our ability to drive positive change within our community.
Our updated goals, which include the change after the corporation’s association and membership of Eric Gagnon, align seamlessly with our longstanding commitment to the Chaplaincy. This adjustment is a natural evolution of our mission, deepening our impact and ensuring we meet the pressing needs of those we aim to support.
