Caritas Diocese of Brentwood is inviting parishioners, clergy, school staff, catechists, volunteers and young adults to a range of stimulating in-person events in September, October and November. Each will explore one of its areas of focus in more detail and invite attendees to consider how their local communities are responding. This is also a wonderful opportunity to visit parishes across the Diocese and hear speakers from other parishes.
