Spiritual Renewal Workshops
The Archdiocese of Chicago and the School of Parish Leadership and Evangelization at USML are partnering to offer training to support spiritual renewal within our parishes. These free online courses include:
-
Intro to Spiritual Renewal (March 25 & April 1 OR May 5 & 12)– a two-session course to learn what spiritual renewal is, why it is necessary, and how you and your parish can take the next steps in renewal.
-
Faith Trends (March 17 or April 28) – a close look at data that describes the shift in people’s attitudes toward religion over the past 50 years, new signs of hope that are present in our midst and how the process of spiritual renewal is seeking to respond to these trends.
-
Hospitality Training (March 24, 31 & April 7) – a series focused on creating an environment where all people feel seen, heard, known and not judged through a sense of welcoming, belonging and inclusiveness.
-
Go Forth: Foundations (April 24, May 1, 8 & 15) – an interactive series designed to help those ready for missionary discipleship but unsure how to get started. Topics include recognizing your call, understanding and sharing your story and developing skills for accompaniment.
