The Order of Deacons will gather with Bishop Dyck on April 29 at the Michael Barlow Center.  The meal is provided through St. Leonard’s Ministries' meal program, which provides culinary training to former offenders and allows them the opportunity to prepare and serve a meal.  We are thankful to be able to support this program again.  Click here to learn more about St. Leonard’s Ministries.
