The Archdiocese of Kingston Youth Office is excited to partner with the ALCDSB to offer a virtual faith formation evening series: The Way: A Guide for the Journey. Featuring Catholic artist and music minister Josh Blakesley, alongside speaker and author Paul George, The Way is a unique series of 10 worship-night style videos, promoting introspection, thoughtful prayer and a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. Each episode highlights a specific theme — God’s love, forgiveness, prayer and silence in life — further reflected upon through beautiful music and in-depth discussion. With the current challenges of gathering in person, The Way helps unite followers of Jesus and serves as a guide for their journey.
This monthly faith formation opportunity will be offered virtually on Microsoft Teams from 7 pm - 8 pm on the first Wednesday of the month (additional session in October) and will include the streaming of the 20-minute video and a small group breakout session with discussion questions. The evening series will be offered at no cost to participants. Participants will be given the flexibility to choose as many sessions as they would like to join.
Please see the trailer for a preview of the series and the website to access the discussion questions in advance. Each session has a separate download pdf of questions.
To join us, please sign up below ONCE and you will receive a teams link in your email. The same link will be used for all sessions.
