Parish Leaders: In Person #2

For our second in-person meeting, all parish catechetical leaders will meet for prayer, fellowship, and new ideas.

We will open the doors promptly at 9:30 am for refreshments and then begin with morning prayer at 10 am.

There will be a brief presentation on a topic we'll share with you once we thought of it, and then we will break for lunch.

Please use the form below to RSVP so we know you are planning to join us. This meeting will not be recorded, so your presence - in person - is anticipated.

Who Should Attend?

Everyone who bears responsibility for formation in the parish: DRE/CRE, youth ministry leaders, RCIA coordinators, and those who help prepare families, young people, or adults for reception of the sacraments.

Clergy are welcome, but not expected to attend.
