Speakers:

Dr. William G. Hoy (English)

Ernesto Zamora (Spanish)

We have invited Dr. Bill Hoy to lead the English track and Ernesto Zamora to lead the Spanish track.  They will direct us in a time of self-reflection and affirmation in our various ministries to people in the parish and community. We’ll talk about the role of community in our faith and how living in community is part of our call to discipleship. Join us as we talk in large group and small groups about our ministries and how to become better caregivers as we learn how to better care for ourselves.
