About the Event
“…it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should be lost.” (Mt 18:14)
Many families today experience sadness or family struggles when their loved ones – teens, adult children, or relatives – are far from the church. Some are resistant, some have drifted & no longer practice the faith they were raised in. The reasons are vast, varied and complex. It can be painful & even confusing for their families. Parents may say “Where did we go wrong?” Grandparents just want their grandchildren baptized! As their family, we want our loved ones to come back, hoping for them to discover it all over again in a new “encounter”, to experience the real peace of living their life with God at the centre to guide, protect & strengthen them – especially in today’s challenging times.
Join us as Fr. Jeff shares how our faith guides us when this is a cross we bear.
