regional family adorations +
Our next Adult Enrichment Opportunities will take place on February 24 in the North (am) and South (pm). Details TBA!
- Rural outreach offers Fall Kickoff as well as spring semester Adult Enrichment opportunities each year.
- For the opportunities that include invite all adults from the parish, grants are offered based on rural parish attendance. RYMO sets aside a certain amount and it’s divided by # of attendees. Parishes have earned several hundred dollars with effort given to inviting parishioners who care about kids.
- We ask that grant money be used for the youth of the parish – however the pastor and youth leader see fit.
- August 19-20, we will offer Family / Parish Regional Adoration with a Catechetical Kick-off session following.
- We will award grant money for those parishes who have catechists attend the Kick-off portion.
- Please distribute the “Holy Hour” flier to your parishioners / families. Please share the “Adoration + Kick-off” fliers to your catechists only so we might avoid some confusion.
