Father Mark Kelleher and Richard Mitchell on

October 16, 2018 at 6:30 p.m. at Holy Family Church.

The evening is designed as an opportunity for enrichment and will be geared toward those who proclaim the

word of God.

Am I deeply imbued with the spirit of the liturgy? Does my ministry change

the way I engage with others in my family or workplace? Am I building up the Body of Christ as I proclaim God’s word? Do I read authentically? Do I engage the entire assembly when I

read the word? Do I read or proclaim?

Please attend this wonderful night of renewal.
