1719 Post Road
Fairfield, CT 06824
All parents and mentor families participating in First Witnesses are invited to a half-day retreat focused on renewing our call to be the first witnesses of faith for our children and one another. Whether you are reasoning young children or accompanying families as a mentor, this retreat offers an opportunity to gather in prayer, deepen your understanding of the vital role of parents in passing on the faith, learn from fellow families, and be strengthened in your mission to cultivate a vibrant Catholic culture at home.
The retreat will also provide a chance to connect with other First Witnesses families from parishes across the diocese. Together, we will share experiences, encourage one another, and discover the warmth of a growing community of parents and mentors committed to helping families and their children encounter Christ.
Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be provided in the morning with lunch to follow.
If interested in participating in this event, please email Todd Kellogg at todd.kellogg@diobpt.org
All parishes enrolled will be contacted
