May God be with you!
Theology on Tap finale was awesome!! Thank you to everyone who came out. We had a blast and loved seeing your smiling faces, really! Also, It’s not over!
Although it will look a little different this year as we try hard to make sure that we implement Bishop’s vision for our diocese through – Catechesis, Evangelization, and Faith in Action – TOT’s are getting queued up as we speak. We look forward to continuing to connect with you and your friends in the name of our good and gracious God. We will continue to do our best to serve your needs and journey with you this year. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Church and our Lord as some have left. You are the good people of God and our Father in Heaven loves you deeply, friends.
Also, Check out Drew’s book at the bottom with the resources! 😊
Estamos Juntos (we are in this together)
Praying for you all,
The YAM team: Drew and Yazmin

His story is really all of ours – or at least many of ours. He is being healed by God the Father as he is being hurt by the sin of the world." Read more at Restless Heart.
