Join Fr. David Cinquegrani, C.P., during the day or evening of Oct. 1 for a stimulating conversation about Pope Francis.

Fr. David will dialogue about statements the Pontiff has made and the meaning of those statements for the Church, the world, and all people. The Pope’s message to “courageously share your faith in seeking out the poor and sinners” will be the focus of much of the conversation.

Among the questions to be considered:  How can we bring the message of God’s love to the poor and sinners, and what resources do we have to make the Gospels come alive in our family, among our friends, and in our broken world?

The program will be offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and again from 6 to 9 p.m. The offering to attend is $40 and includes a meal.

Holy Family is located at 303 Tunxis Rd. in West Hartford. For more information, call860-760-9705 or visit the Holy Family website, www.holyfamilyretreat.org.
