First Friday Fellowship will gather on the First Friday of each month. It is designed to allow survivors and ordinary lay Catholics to listen to one another and to share the ways their faith has changed as a result of the sexual abuse crisis in our Church. Each session will be co-facilitated by a survivor and a CLC member. We will focus on a different theme each month and invite resource people to assist as appropriate for the topic.

Our first meeting on November 4 will provide an opportunity to get to know one another before we start

• learn more about Concerned Lay Catholics and our survivor partners

• seek participants’ input on the topics to be covered

• review the guidelines for participation so you can be sure this experience is right for you

• attendance at all sessions is encouraged but not required
