Feed My Sheep Workshops: The Very Fabric of Our Lives

How does one connect liturgy to life, and life to liturgy? This dynamic workshop will explore the sacramental threads of ritual, symbol, and liturgical prayer, and offers parish leaders creative and innovative ways in which to weave the sacramental life of the Church into the very fabric of our parish communities. Participants will be given the opportunity to interact in small group discussions.

Participants will take away:

• A renewed sense of our baptismal call to love and serve the Lord and one another.
• Practical methods for reigniting the fire of the Spirit in your faith community through the celebration of the sacraments.
• Opportunities to nourish our own spirituality through ritual, prayer, and shared wisdom.
