Webinar: Using Saints and Holy Days to Teach the Faith at Home

About this Webinar

What if we talked about saints and holy days in our homes with our families and friends instead of only in the church building? Panelists Allison Liles and Miriam McKenney will be in conversation with host Sarah Bentley Allred about exactly that. They will share methods and concrete ideas with participants.
