Lenten Circles — An Experience of Conversations in Communion
During Lent, a season of renewal of our relationship with God and one another, join Catholic Mobilizing Network to prayerfully reflect on how to embody hope in our life, our communities, and our society.
You will experience a conversation in communion firsthand while reflecting on the themes of the Jubilee Year and implementing the Synod on Synodality.
During this season of renewal, join CMN for one or both sessions to:
- Prayerfully reflect and dialogue on the theme topics
- Learn about circle process by participating in one
- Contemplate opportunities for engagement in your community
Following a time of prayer and welcome, participants will move into small group circle processes led by trained Conversations in Communion Facilitators.
What is Conversations in Communion?
Conversations in Communion: Parish Dialogues for Connection and Understanding is a formation program that equips Catholics to introduce the restorative practice of circle process in their parishes and ministries.
Together, the facilitator guide and virtual training build capacity for deep listening, authentic encounters, and fuller participation in Catholic parish and ministry life.
