Community
What are you seeking? Are you looking for companions to walk with you on the spiritual journey? Although we can't gather in person during this challenging COVD pandemic, we encourage you to seek out virtual gatherings that may be happening in your parish, your community, and in the larger Diocese. We will try to post any virtual events coming up in our 14-county region for those interested in making connections and sharing the faith.
