Town Hall Conversation:
Lay Leadership and the future of the Church in Washington State

When: Saturday, Nov. 8, 9 am to 12:30 pm
Where: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Walmesley Center is 3410 SW Myrtle St.
Who should attend: All Catholics in the Northwest interested in shaping the future of our church
Why: With the declining number of priests and resulting roll out of Partners in the Gospel, the crucial moment has arrived for the Laity to become the kind of Leaders needed for the Church to move forward into the future. We, the laity, will need to step up in new ways to nurture and grow the Church in the region.
