From: Fr. Pedro Poloche, director, Ongoing Formation of Priests
Brothers in Christ,
The Committee for the Ongoing Formation of Priests has been working to plan formation events for 2023. Our goal is to highlight the four categories of priestly formation – human, intellectual, pastoral and spiritual, by offering either a clergy study day or reflection in each category.
Below, you will find the calendar listing. I hope you will plan to attend. Registration and details will follow closer to each event.
I look forward to seeing you there!
