Today, Sunday Feb 14, we welcome and pray for all those who will be electing to continue with their preparation for initiation into the Catholic faith. May they experience the joy of the Catholic community and know that we are always journeying with them. Being that this is also Valentine's Day, it is a wonderful reminder of unceasing love of our God that is always in our midst.

The Office of Faith Formation "in house" webinar series presents:
"Prepare, Execute and Celebrate!Yes! You can plan your own Confirmation Retreat!" with Maria Kirk
Is your Confirmation Retreat boring? The facilitator didn't really engage or present the message your thought your candidates could relate to? Do you ever think, I could have done a better job myself? Well, you can! The focus of this webinar will be how to prepare, execute, and celebrate a Confirmation Retreat that the candidates will enjoy and get something out of as well. Ideas for location, ice breakers, prayer, service projects, dialogue will be presented and discussed. I promise at the end of your retreat the candidates will say, "Wow, that wasn't bad at all!" High praise from a 15 year old!

 | Several parishes are asking "What is happening at other parishes during Lent? We want to share these in our bulletins." May I ask that if you have any parish missions, special presenters, Penance services, bible studies, etc....to send me a quick email with the info including the title, times, place and contact info. I can then create one document to share to everyone. |
