In the morning portion of this session, we will pray together and explore Jesus’ missionary mandate and what it means for us today as catechists in parishes and Catholic schools of the Diocese of Saginaw.  In the afternoon, we will cover the basics of being a catechist and explore the resources and techniques available to catechists and Catholic school teachers.

The Grief Recovery Series is a six week program which enables you to become aware of the process of grief and how grief affects your life. Any adult who has experienced a loss due to death three months ago or longer are welcome to attend. St. Vincent de Paul will offer this weekly grief recovery series on Mondays, September 23 - October 28, 2019 from 5:30 p.m. - 7 p.m. Presented by St. Vincent de Paul Parish in cooperation with the Office of Christian Service, Catholic Diocese of Saginaw.

Quiet time is good for the mind, the body, and the spirit.  The pressures of work and family can make it hard to find time to spend in prayer, reflection, or rest.  This is a one-day, undirected mini-retreat.
