Two years ago, after pandemic exile, we set out to rekindle our faith formation. Last year, we embarked upon the journey home, even though we knew that home would be much different than when we left. Time, careers, our faith, our community has been changed, and because of this, the Spirit calls us to do a new thing. The time has come for us to be “Trailblazers.” We will honor those that blazed their trails before us, while dedicating ourselves to follow Jesus down new paths and discovering fresh experiences of faith blazing the trail together.
