It will focus on how we can connect with Jesus, and that when we are connected to Him, we send love and joy (and all the Fruits of the Spirit) into the world. Participants will hear about the many ways to stay connected with Jesus, whether it be through the Eucharist, going to Mass, or saying a simple prayer.
