Upcoming Events

Formation Hour: Rule of Life Workshop - January 15th
Throughout the history of the church, many Christians have found spiritual nourishment by organizing their daily lives around a rhythm of spiritual practices and habits (sometimes called a "rule of life"), and the beginning of a new year can be a great time to take inventory of our spiritual rhythms. Join us for this workshop where Fr. Kyle will help you craft your own unique rule of life for 2023
