Parish Table Talk

•  GIVEN Retreat in Anne Arundel County: The GIVEN retreat for couples is coming to Anne Arundel County in June.  Encourage couples (dating, engaged or married) to take time on June 10 to strengthen their relationship. Printed material is available here, registration is here, and videos for promotion use can be found on the YouTube page.

•  Remembering Bishop Neuman: We remember and celebrate the life and ministry of Bishop William Neuman. Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

•  “The Keepers” Netflix series: Resources and information on the Netflix series “The Keepers” can be found on the website of the Archdiocese.

•  Integrating knowledge of human development as key to compelling faith formation: Dr Joseph White, a clinical child and family psychologist, writes on how faith formation can be effective and life-long if we utilize scientific knowledge and understanding of how the human person develops.  What applications might this have for our faith formation programs?
