_____________________________________________________________________________________Interfaith Planning Meeting
Thank you to all who participated in last Sunday's interfaith zoom gathering. Dr. Hafza Girdap gave a moving presentation about the oppression of her community, as well as ethnic and religious minorities in Turkey. It provided valuable information, as well as insight into the lived reality of many of our interfaith coalition members and their families remaining in Turkey.
Our next planning meeting will take place on Monday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m. We will continue the conversation begun on Feb. 18 regarding interfaith family Seders, the iftar, and topics for the Table of Abraham, and will discuss suggestions that you might bring. The zoom link registration will also be made available on the parish website and Facebook page. All are invited; all are welcome! If you have any questions, please contact Sr. Celia (celia.deutsch@gmail.com).
