TWO RCIA WORKSHOP EXTRAS! LUNCH
A continental breakfast will be included in the registration fee to start the day with a bang. But we will also offer lunch for those who wish to stay after the workshop and mingle with the guest speakers. This will be a rare opportunity to socialize informally, ask questions, and learn more about their own recruiting experiences. This unstructured period will likely generate great conversations, ideas, and solutions! $5.00
You can bring your own lunch and join in with the speakers. BOOK
Jesus‐Style Recruiting is a deep well of inspiration, featuring doable strategies, and rock‐solid tips for calling people from the whole parish and beyond to give their time and talents to serve others. It's a process that mirrors the way that in His day, Jesus Christ called everyday people to serve, but even more important, to become his disciples. You can’t find a better model! $8.00

DIRECTIONS TO SAINT PETER CLAVER PARISH in SIMI VALLEY
Take the 118 (either eastbound or westbound) and exit Yosemite. Go south on Yosemite (going down the hill, not up) to Cochran (the first light at the bottom of the hill). Make a right on Cochran and no more than half a block, you should see the church parking lot on your left side. Page 1 of 2
