Lenten Circles — An Experience of Conversations in Communion

About the Lenten Circles

Conversations in Communion: Parish Dialogues for Connection and Understanding enables parish and ministry leaders to embrace the restorative practice of circle process to become a listening, discerning Church.

This Lent, 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 on the theme topics through dialogue
  • Learn about circle process by participating in one
  • Contemplate opportunities for engagement in your community

Additional Details

This is a free event. Following a time of welcome, participants will move into small-group circle processes led by CMN’s Conversations in Communion Facilitators.

All are welcome. No prior experience with the topics or restorative practices is required. Because of this event’s participatory nature we do ask that attendees prioritize being present for the entirety of the session.

Registration is required. Please do register in good faith, as responses are used to plan for the number of small-groups and facilitators needed.

We will gather virtually. These participatory virtual events will take place via Zoom and will not be recorded.
