Why Don't Our Adult Children Go To Church? A Virtual Program

Catholic Family Services and the Office of Faith Events is sponsoring a virtual workshop with Deacon Dennis Dolan and Catholic Family Services Coordinator, Mary- Jo McLaughlin on October 5, from 7- 8:30 PM.

The evening will offer thoughts, insights and hope for parents burdened with the knowledge that their adult children have lost touch with their faith. Time for prayer and reflection will be included.

To register for this free workshop, email Marianne at manicholas@norwichdiocese.net or call 860-848-2237, ext. 304.

A follow up day of reflection will be offered to all participants at a later date.
