Speaker: Francesca Gross
Topic: "Finding and Building Community in the Church"
"For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." — Matthew 18:20
God calls us to be in communion with one another, yet sometimes it can be difficult to find or build our own communities, especially faith-based ones. Join us for a great talk as Francescea shares her experiences in finding and creating meaningful communities, and offers valuable insights on how you can join or build one of your own.
BIO: Francesca Gross resides in Manassas, Virginia, with her husband, Ethan, and their two children. She graduated from Old Dominion University with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. For nearly a decade, Francesca served under the Arlington Diocese as the Director of Education and Youth at St. Charles Borromeo in Arlington, followed by a few years at Catholic Charities Pregnancy and Adoption Services. Prior to her work with the Church, Francesca held notable positions at various institutions, including Disney World, YMCA, the NBA, specifically the Golden State Warriors and the Washington Wizards.
In recent years, she has dedicated herself to raising her family and managing their home while taking on various volunteer roles.
In the past year, Francesca has offered her gifts to All Saints Parish, initiating and supporting their small communities of faith (small groups). She has also been asked to help launch a women's program at the parish. Moreover, she recently joined the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) at All Saints as the Spirit Event Coordinator.
Francesca is deeply passionate about finding joy in her everyday life and sharing how faith has transformed these ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. She is enthusiastic about sharing her experiences and inviting others to join her in building and participating in small groups, with the ultimate goal of fostering closer communities of faith.
