- This event has passed.
This is a catechist reunion invitation to have the opportunity to gather in person and meet your mentors and other fellow catechists who walked the online catechist formation journey with you. This gathering will be one of prayer, worship, and formation. This is also an invitation to any persona that would like to grow in faith this Lent.
This workshop will focus on how the Church, as described in Lumen Gentium, is the People of God, the Body of Christ, and the Temple of the Holy Spirit. Participants will reflect on these roles and how, in light of Lent, they can renew their hope through prayer, repentance, and acts of love.
