Register today for a cohort that fits your schedule and leadership role. Each group will meet monthly, January through June, for at least one hour under the guidance of a trained facilitator.

Parish Council & Ministry Leaders - Tuesdays
Facilitated by Fr. Ian Pac-Urar 
I love the support and camaraderie of peer-learning groups. There is no “sage on the stage” – everyone contributes and decides what to take away from the experience. My job is to keep the discussion productive and progressing. Give a lecture and people forget. Peer learners have fun and remember.
