Join us online for an evening of education, sharing, and spiritual reflection. Our theme is: FAMILY & FAITH IN FOCUS. 

Bishop David will be joining us to share a vision of family-focused ministry and ways that we can serve families of all shapes and sizes especially in this “Year of the family” as declared by Pope Francis. Come prepared to share some of your own ideas and brainstorm some new ones.

Seminarian Alex Pankiw will share what he has learned about facilitating small faith-sharing groups. Then we will review resources that will help us in our work for the church and her people. A link to join via ZOOM will be sent out.
