| |  | | Dates to Remember & Links to RSVP | | | Don't forget that we are beginning adult and children's catechesis this Sunday, September 29th, at 9:00 a.m. Children will gather downstairs, and adults will meet in the conference room on the north side of the office suite upstairs.
|
We had a wonderful turnout for last week's lecture, and we should have another good turnout tonight. This presentation will focus on the nature and purpose of catechetical ministry, which is central to the mission of St. John's. Whether you plan to take part in catechesis this fall or not, we encourage you to join us if you can. You can read a short excerpt from the invitation, below:

We are grateful for all of you and look forward to seeing you soon!
