Living and Sharing Discipleship Joy: A Day of Evangelising Formation
What is is all about? Jesus reveals to us the unconditional love of God for each of us. This saving Good News transforms lives and has the power to change the world!
We will explore what the Father wants for us (morning) and what Jesus asks of us (afternoon) as disciples-in-mission with him.
Come with an openness to be surprised, challenged and inspired. The Holy Spirit will be amongst us!
Is this day for me? This hope-filled and empowering day is designed for those in various roles of parish ministry. Both active parishioners in the areas of evangelisation, catechesis and formation and parish ministry leaders will come away with spiritual insights and practical skills to apply broadly in their lives and ministry.
