Purpose

Our primary purpose for having parish listening sessions now is find out how you have been doing during this time of pandemic and to offer a way to connect (or reconnect) with others of similar ages and places in life.

During the sessions, we also hope to: 

• hear your thoughts and hopes for our parish community
• explore new possibilities
• begin to prepare for when we will all be able to gather again as a parish family

Session Facilitators (Listeners)

Since we are unable to gather in groups, these virtual sessions will also be an opportunity for our new Parish Director of Evangelization & Faith Formation, Faye Akers, to meet and begin to get to know St. Boniface parishioners. Sessions will be co-facilitated by Faye and at least one other parish staff member or parish leader. The primary role of the session facilitators is to listen.

Format

Sessions (90 miniutes) will be offered on ten different evenings in January for parishioners in various age groups and will include: prayer, brief introductions, questions for individual reflection, and time for sharing. Sessions will close with prayer, as well as the opportunity to complete a short session evaluation. A format of "mutual invitation" and "sacred listening" will be followed during the discussion time.
