Many of our parishes have not fully returned to the fullness of pre-COVID times. No parishioner group has been slower to return to in-person worship than families and youth. Attend the “Rekindle” webinar to gain insights into what you can do to help bring families back. This live webinar is being presented by the Archdiocese Center for Family Care and the Department of Stewardship, Outreach and Evangelism, and funded through a generous grant from Leadership 100.
