Deacon Joe O Campo has worked for over 25 years with engaged couples, married couples, and parent groups, all for "building better relationships". One group of people that he feels has not been heard, is the area of Single Parents.   It is an ever growing group of our Church, and yet as a Church, we have been remiss in gathering this group together.

This October, Single Parents, male or female, are invited

 

The meetings will focus on:

Healing of previous relationships

Prayer

Laughter

Parenting

Companionship

 

Meeting on Monday Evenings,

At St. Gerard Parish Office

October 1, 8, and 15. The schedule will be:
