Virtual Alo Meetings *Thursday Night Speaker and Discussion & *Monday Night Rosary
April 21, 2020
Well my Catholic Sisters, Mary and I have come up with a plan to help keep us connected and encouraged during this trying season of life.
This Thursday and every Thursday night for the next few months (at least) we will host a virtual Alo meeting through Zoom. The meetings will be shorter (about an hour) from 7:30-8:30.
We have access to an amazing selection of talks from speakers throughout the US with accompanying discussion questions. Each talk is about 20-30 minutes. We will watch one 20-30 minute talk per meeting and use the discussion questions to lead us through the remainder of the meeting time (approx. 20-30 minutes). We are planning on an hour max for these Alo meetings.
We are thinking that shorter more frequent meetings would hit the sweet spot for this period in all of our lives.
We are also planning to host a virtual weekly rosary on Monday nights at 8pm for those interested. The rosary itself will be around 20 minutes so planning for no more than 40 minutes.
If you are new to Alo and would like to participate and receive links to these Zoom Meetings, please sign up for our email list above.
In Jesus, May, and Joseph,
~Your Alo Co coordinators, Lisa Laverty & Mary Niekrewicz
