Nuestra clase de un día de preparación al matrimonio es un día completo de formación, de diálogo entre la pareja y de reflexión.

El día también incluirá una bolsa de materiales suplementarios de la conferencia para la pareja, desayuno continental, almuerzo caliente, bocadillos y una oportunidad para la Reconciliación.

Our goal is to meet virtually with every pastor at least once during the 2022-2023 ministry year. During our half-hour session, we will help you manage LEAD for your parish, answer any questions about upcoming changes to sacramental norms, or just listen to any concerns you have about formation opportunities in your parish.

Meetings will be recorded and available in LEAD.

Each meeting is via Zoom beginning at 1:30 pm and links are available on the Institute website.

On Thursday, December 8th, there will be a Sung Mass at 6:00 PM at the Georgetown Oratory, 30 Church Street in Redding.  Following Mass there will be a Tree Lighting on the Great Lawn with Carols, Mulled Wine, Hot Cider, Mincemeat Pies and Merriment.  All are welcome.

Advent is a time to slow down, ponder, and practice hopeful waiting. But ironically that sometimes feels impossible for church ministers! Give yourself a moment of pause this season to take stock of what matters most in your life. We’ll reflect on how we spend our time and learn a process to align our time and the stuff of our real lives to the deep purpose God’s planted in us.

Every other week, parish faith formation leaders are invited to a half-hour online meeting to discuss upcoming events, learn more about what others are doing in their parishes, and brainstorm solutions to common problems. Our goal is to pray together, learn from each other, and leave affirmed that we are on the right path in our own parishes and ministry settings.

Meetings are recorded and available online. There is no cost and no advance registration required.

All meetings are on Tuesdays, and all are at 11 am.
