Visioning Process, Phase 2: Community Listening Campaign—The next step in our parish visioning process is to meet with our neighbors and stakeholders in the Frederick community to learn more about how God is leading us to be engaged in our ministries of outreach.

If you are interested in being part of this process and would like to learn more, please plan to attend a training led by Rev.
