Faith Connection Gatherings for Adults
To truly grow in our faith, it is essential we take time to connect with the Lord. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is by sharing our thoughts and our questions about our Catholic beliefs at gatherings specifically designed for adults. All adults are welcome. Neither fee nor pre-registration is required. All that is needed is a desire to grow in an understanding of Catholicism. Come every week or attend whenever you are able.
