SUMMARY:Communities for Spiritual Vitality Information Session
DESCRIPTION:The Communities for Spiritual Vitality is an initiative of gratitude\, hope\, and joy offered as a source of renewal for laity with roles of leadership or service in parishes with part-time or shared clergy support. It is grounded in cultivating yearlong relationships of support\, fellowship\, formation\, and FUN with peers\, supported by the companionship of clergy facilitators. The Communities now invites inquirers for a new cohort\, scheduled for January 2026 – January 2027. \nThe Communities cohort offers three primary components for each participant: \n\nIn-person gatherings: three in-person retreats per year\, at no cost to participants\nInter-parish formation group: regular zoom meetings with a small cohort of participants and a clergy facilitator\nCoaching and Spiritual Direction: three individual coaching/spiritual direction meetings with a clergy facilitator\n\nThrough the year\, participants learn\, practice\, and share within a community of support. Topics explored will include scripture\, self-care\, hope\, grief/loss\, prayer practice\, rule of life\, and nourishing relationship with God in the midst of our lives. Those who wish then participate in crafting a second year of engagement with one another as a way to deepen friendships and explore how to bring these forms of spirituality back to their parish. \nThis 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. A Zoom information session is scheduled for Thursday\, Nov. 20\, 6-7:30 p.m. Interested lay leaders should email communities@diovermont.org to indicate their interest in the cohort and to receive the Zoom meeting invitation for the Information Session.
