Afternoon of Spiritual Renewal Oct 21, 2023
One of the most valuable ways we can share our faith is through stories - through our own personal testimonies of the difference Jesus Christ has made in our lives as well as through other stories that reveal truth in an approachable way. We'll take some time to discover how to share stories more fruitfully and why the impact of story is so profound for today's world.
If you would like to talk to someone about planning for evangelization & discipleship, hosting a parish mission or school retreat, or forming a team of missionary disciples, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Key Quotes
The light of faith is linked to concrete life-stories. (Pope Francis, Lumen Fidei, 12)
Faith is not the product of reflection, nor is it even an attempt to penetrate the depths of my own being. Both these things may be present, but they remain insufficient without the ‘listening’ through which God, from without, from a story he himself created challenges me. (Pope Benedict XVI, October 2015 Interview)
