Sample Conversations in Communion
Outlines to help you initiate conversations in communion in your parish or community.
About the Sample Circle Outlines
CMN offers a set of sample circle outlines intended to help facilitators initiate conversations in communion. These outlines were created by Catholic circle facilitators throughout the country working in a variety of ministerial contexts. Each includes some background context along with notes for consideration.
These sample circle outlines may be replicated where appropriate but are primarily intended to serve as a starting point and a source of inspiration. Because each outline was submitted by a different author, there are some variations in voice, tone, and structure.
Circle facilitators should always consider the unique needs of their group when planning for conversations in communion.
Please Note: These outlines should not be used without prior training in circle process and of consultation with the Conversations in Communion facilitator guide.
If you have not been trained in facilitating circle process, please apply for the Conversations in Communion virtual training.
