Transforming Communities through Positive Civil Dialogue
What: Workshop on dialogue
When: Saturday, March 14, 2015, from 9:00 AM to 4:45 PM
Where: STM Church
Registration fee: $10.00 (includes book) You may pre-register by March 12 (call the parish office for contact information) or you may register the day of the event.
The workshop will provide a real experience in dialogue. In several formats, we will put the steps of dialogue into practice, gaining both knowledge of our own blind spots and a deeper understanding of the perspective of others.
We will also explore the role of the media and Catholic Church teaching in our dialogue efforts.
Stations of the Cross
Every Friday during Lent we will be doing the Stations of the Cross at 7:00 PM.
Remember also our outdoor Living Stations of the Cross on Good Friday, April 3 at noon. We need actors and production team members. If you are interested, please call Cristina (Director) at (415) 518-5417.
Volunteer with Catholic Charities during Lent
You can choose from a number of volunteer activities such as serving food to the homeless, distributing food to seniors, or reading to children. Contact Clint Womack, Volunteer Manager, at 415-972-1297 to sign up and reserve a spot or send email to [email protected].
