The Diocese of Albany Vicariate for Catholic Faith Formation and Education is hosting a virtual spring program titled “Are We Missing the Mark? Forming Disciples in Today’s Church & in the Covid-19 Reality.”
This free event will take place on Wednesday, May 13, from 7-9 p.m. or Thursday, May 14, from 2-4 p.m., on Google Zoom. The guest speaker is Rich Curran.
Curran is founder and executive director of Parish Success Group, a non-profit organization that develops professional and organizational skills for leaders in Catholic ministry (www.parishsuccessgroup.com).
