Update from Jane Keating
CAC is growing! We had 13 youth at the October 8th gathering
Parents, youth and children are invited to come together to think about this diverse and growing group to make it as liberatory and inclusive as our resources evolve to make it possible.
Please respond to the following doddle poll indicating your availability to meet asap. Let us know who in your family group is coming, thx! We'll go with the date most folx can attend.

In this evolving process we meet to:
1. Making sure our CAC time has needed support through the end of January (with a peek ahead into 2023).
2. Planning to make the holidays special for our youth and connect their spiritual formation in community.
3. Our AMP project is finishing up, what do our youth (with S & L support) want to do next?
You are all wanted in this process.
