Workshop Sequence

Year I - Fall Semester

Theme: Dignity of the Human Person

Every human person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) with an inherent and inviolable dignity.

Please begin by reading the grounding scripture for this theme which can be found in John 4: 4-42.

Then, proceed to view Fr. Lou Delfra's reflection below and consider the following reflection questions:
- What stood out to you from the reflection below on the Dignity of the Human Person?
- What new learnings on respecting the human dignity of individuals can be found in this Gospel encounter?

An optional prayer service is available below for your download and use.

Finally, we ask that you consider the two workshop offerings for this fall and register for your choice of one of the two workshops. Please plan to register by Friday, September 17.
