Welcome to the Communities for Spiritual Vitality. We have a few opportunities for you to join us coming up!
Info Sessions for Cohort 2
The Communities now invites inquirers for a new cohort, scheduled for January 2026 – January 2027. The Communities cohort offers three primary components for each participant:
In-person gatherings: three in-person retreats per year, at no cost to participants
Inter-parish formation group: regular zoom meetings with a small cohort of participants and a clergy facilitator
Coaching and Spiritual Direction: three individual coaching/spiritual direction meetings with a clergy facilitator
This grant-funded initiative is a gift of intensive support for lay leaders who carry so much and hunger for a deeper relationship with God and one another. Our next Zoom information sessions are scheduled for:
Wednesday, October 15, 5:30-7:00pm
Thursday, November 20, 6:00-7:30pm
For the link to attend a Zoom info session, email communities@diovermont.org.
