In a previous bulletin, I offered you the groups who meet for weekly faith formation sessions. You are invited to those. This weekend, I want to share with you upcoming faith formation events for renewal for you to consider and place on your families’ calendar now. You may use an experience as a gift to give someone by covering the cost of their spiritual experience. More information about each of these that we will definitely be promoting as a parish will be forthcoming. This is just so you see these to begin your 2026-2027 spiritual growth plans.
