Catholic Youth Adult Day | August 3, 2024 

St. Helena's Catholic Church

Matt Birk is a Catholic husband, father, Harvard graduate, Superbowl champion, and recipient of the Walter Payton Man of the Year (2011). On October 6th, he shared his journey from being raised Catholic, leaving the Church on his own personal search for truth, and return home with a strengthened commitment to Catholicism. 

A video recording from this event will be posted soon!

This event was hosted by CEND (the Center for Evangelization & Discipleship) whose mission is to empower Young Adults to find, connect, and belong to an active life of discipleship in the Church and to support the people who assist them along their journey.

The GIVEN Institute was in  Minnesota for 1 day ! This event hosted  women of all ages for speakers, Mass, meals, prayer, and fellowship. Bishop Cozzins said mass!

In partnership with CEND, GIVEN Institute hosted a 1-day gathering for women of all ages. This event gives you a taste of the GIVEN Institute with speakers who inspire you to receive the gift that you are, realize the gifts you've been given, and respond with the gift only you can give.
