From the website: “Rediscover God and rediscover the life you were made for with internationally renowned speaker and author, Chris Stefanick, and Catholic recording artist, Jon Niven. Reboot! Live! is the fun, inspiring and practical experience for all (ages 12 and up), of applying the beauty and genius of the Gospel to every aspect of your life, from prayer and spirituality, to work, dating, marriage, parenting, health and more!” Chis Stefanick co-authored the program we use at St. Patrick’s for confirmation (Chosen: Your Journey Toward Confirmation). Please note: attendance at this event will count as class attendance J Our parish office has some tickets available for purchase. You can also purchase tickets online and see a video clip at the link below.
