The first of a new 3-year cycle of “Putting Out Into
the Deep!” was honoured with a lively gathering and some good wine and

beginning and the accomplishments of 8 people who began their adult faith

Participation” signifying participation in at least 10 sessions: John
Ferriss, Richard Ladouceur, Rosella Mac Neil, Jackie McGuinty, Terry Thibert,

Archbishop Gervais celebrates the
fulfillment of a dream
and his hopes for more for the future |
Archbishop Gervais spoke of his dream that adults would
engage in such formation as a normal part of being mature in faith and that his
dream is realized in the accomplishments of this faith development series. He
hopes it will not only continue, but grow stronger. The gathering honoured
archbishop Gervais and Carol Kuzmochka thanked him, on everyone’s behalf,
for his vision and leadership in having the dream and opening the way for the
launching this adult faith development opportunity. A toast to Archbishop
Gervais, to the certificate participants and to the future, as well as a thank
you to Carol Kuzmochka ended this meaningful celebration. |
