Hosted by St. Lawrence Catholic Church, what made it so special was it was the first in-person workshop by Initiation Ministry Partners in over 6 years, as they had been virtual since COVID!

A preview of hopefully many more in-person IMP workshops to follow.

One year ago today the world saw white smoke & heard the words “Habemus papam” proclaimed from the balcony of St. Peter’s.

Our building gathered together and audibly gasped as it was announced Cardinal Robert Provost from Chicago had been elected as the first pope from the U.S!

Last week we had the quarterly Southwest Deanery PCL meeting at Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus Catholic Church in Douglasville.
