Postponement of Faith Formation Convocation (originally May 16th)

May 14, 2015
Ascension Day

Dear Friends,

It is with regret that I inform you that our 3rd annual Faith Formation day, scheduled for this Saturday, May 16th, will be postponed until a later date yet to be determined.

We have worked hard to plan for this third annual gathering, intended to support and nourish those involved and interested in passing on the faith from generation to generation.  I have been excited that seven congregations and others involved in innovative and growing ministries across the diocese had agreed to present workshops sharing the good work they are doing.

Sadly, despite our best efforts, the number of registered participants was far from robust enough to sustain the day.  We will be working to understand why this has been so and to plan more effectively for the future.  Our intent is to provide the resources you need to know and teach and live the faith well.

Please accept my apologies.  Registered participants will be reimbursed their registration fees, of course.  We intend to reschedule this offering to a later date, likely during the fall of this year of 2015.

Blessings to you this day of Ascension!  May Christ, seated at the right hand of his Abba and ours, strengthen us all for the good work we have been given to do.

Sincerely,

John P. McGinty+
