Don’t miss a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to spend a working lunch with Fr. Duggan! An experienced pastor with a unique outlook, he has spent many years helping parishes improve pastoral practice, through his column in Church magazine and workshops nationwide.

Now he wants to help high-functioning parish teams in the Diocese of Joliet "ready to move to the next level" to become “learning communities” that effectively support catechesis and evangelization.

Is your parish ready?  If so, then you’re invited!

Parish teams must register in a group along with their pastor. The model that Fr. Duggan will present requires participation of the entire staff or pastoral team. 

Contact the Diocesan Religious Education Office today at

(815) 727-6411 to reserve some space for your parish team. 

The registration forms will be mailed in early June.
