Office of Evangelization and Catechesis

Designed especially for parish receptionists, secretaries, and administrative staff, The First Face of Christ is a day of prayer, renewal, encouragement, and practical formation. Together, we will reflect on the important role parish office staff play in creating a welcoming and evangelizing parish community.

The retreat will be offered at multiple locations and on various dates throughout the diocese to make participation as convenient as possible. If you are unable to attend the retreat in your deanery, you are welcome to register for another location.

The retreat will take place from 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

We hope you will join us for this meaningful opportunity to step away from the demands of daily work, be spiritually refreshed, and connect with others who share in this important ministry.
