Holy Spirit offers

inquiry sessions

LOCK HAVEN — Do you wonder what life is all about? Ever ask yourself, “What is my purpose? Why am I here?” Ever think, “There has to be more to life than just completing my ‘to do’ list!”

Bring your questions and discover how Jesus has a plan for each one of us individually that leads to the fullness of a life well lived.

Holy Spirit Catholic Parish invites everyone, no matter your personal history, age, income, background, gender, race, ethnicity, spirituality, or marital situation, to join in exploring the Catholic Faith in community and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ.

Weekly, “no obligation” inquiry sessions start Monday, Sept. 17 at 6:30 p.m. Sessions will meet most Mondays, mid September to mid May, at Holy Spirit Parish Center, 7 E. Walnut St.

All inquiries are welcome. Contact Tammy Nesbitt, director of religious education, 570-748-7303, tnesbitt@dioceseaj.org, with questions.
