Ministry with Maturing Adults WEBINAR
Included a presentation by Sr. Janet Schaeffler, OP on 
The Gifts and Challenges of these Unprecedented Times.

Wondering questions and faith-filled courage, anxious worries, and expectant hope, fill our hearts. As mature adults, women and men of wisdom and life experiences, how do we live in these uncertain times so that we’re not just surviving but, immersed in God’s strength, we’re thriving and deepening? This webinar will give us time to virtually gather with others for reflection, thoughts, and suggestions for living the challenges and the gifts of this place where we’d rather not be.
 
All men and women in the second half of life (50+), including volunteers, parish leaders, parish staff, and priests are welcome to join this webinar.  Click on the link to register:
