Gathering for Faith Formation Leaders (Deanery H)

Join fellow Faith Formation leaders for a time of connection, collaboration, and shared learning. Deanery Gatherings provide an opportunity to build relationships with colleagues across the deanery, exchange ideas and best practices, and support one another in the important work of forming disciples.

During this in-person meeting, all parish catechetical leaders will meet for prayer, fellowship, and new ideas. Our speaker is Dr. Joseph White, a Child and Family Psychologist and Associate Publisher for Catechetical Resources at OSV Publishing.

We will open the doors promptly at 10 am for refreshments and then begin with morning prayer.

There will be a brief presentation by Dr. White, and then we will break for lunch.
