Come to learn how to assist special needs students in encountering and growing closer to Christ with creative lesson adaptations.  

This day is for all who minister with special needs children and will begin at 9:00 am and conclude by noon.  

Joe Paprocki from Loyola Press will present "Communicating the Plan" easy and effective ways to communicate the vision and plan for faith formation programming in an ever-changing environment.  Newly ordained, Fr. Matthew Nwafor will share in prayer with us along with a spiritual reflection by Durham's new Christian Band the Meek Squad. 

Join other men (ages 17-35) from around the diocese in the 2020 Ultimate Seminarian Invitational. Due to the coronavirus, we will observe the prescriptions for separation and interaction as suggested by the CDC, as well as the NC state mask mandate. Wear athletic shoes and sports clothes; we will provide water. Dinner will be provided by the Knights of Columbus. It is a fun-filled afternoon where good friendships are made with our seminarians.
