Gathering
The Gathering is part of the Adult Education program at Holy Cross parish and plans and presents three opportunities of spiritual enrichment/educational opportunities per year for adults of the parish to grow in their faith and strengthen the bonds of community. Speakers and presenters offer insights and ideas on a wide variety of spiritual and personal development topics that would be of interest to adults in today’s world. These events are open to all adults in the parish and also friends and neighbors, and offer people a chance to explore.
Gatherings usually occur three times per year, 2 morning opportunities and one evening opportunity. Morning Gatherings begin with gourmet breakfasts, while evening programs have appetizers/soup.
