The Acts of Chapter Committee is exploring what it means to be a collegial church. To that end, we are hosting a listening session on sexuality, marriage, and the family as the Pope has requested.

There are two gatherings: Tuesday, April 14, 2-4 pm, for Carondelet Village residents and Thursday, April 16, 7-9 pm, for other community members and friends.
Place for Thursday’s listening session is Carondelet Center in the Diningroom.
