Eight weeks into our catechetical year is the perfect time to pause for an infusion of inspiration and idea-sharing as we prepare to transition from Ordinary Time to the seasons of Advent and Christmas. Join other catechists for a delicious meal, workshop, and time of prayer.  Our workshop will offer easy and creative suggestions for engaging our faith formation families during Advent and Christmas.
