'The
Parish: What Kind of
Animal Is It?'
The
parish of the 21st
century — where
have we come from,
where are we now and
where are we going?
What
is the essential
mission of the parish
and what role do young
adults play?
What
do we, as young adults,
need to do to deal with
the kind of animal the
parish is, and how do
young adults fit in
with the parish of the
future?
Join
Bishop Gerald Wilkerson
for an engaging session
that will help us
understand exactly
where we fit in with
our parish, what impact
we have now and can
continue to have.
Bishop
also opens the mike to
questions.
