Who:

All members of the parish community including:
youth, parents, singles, couples, working folks, retired folks,
college students, grandparents, young adults, everyone!

Why:

To strengthen the Catholic Way of Life
among all our parish community we need a new approach,
one that includes all generations in participating in the life of the Church.
Our youth need the wisdom of the old and the old need the enthusiasm of the youth.
By learning together we can only grow stronger in our faith!
