STORIES OF DISCERNMENT
As part of St. David’s year-long focus on discernment, staff members reached out to some of our ministry leaders and asked them to share stories of the way spiritual discernment played a role in their lives.
Throughout the summer, we will share these Stories of Discernment on stdave.org, in the newsletter, and on social media to inspire our community to continue to explore ways to listen to God’s call in our lives as individuals and as a parish.
| Follow us on social media to connect to St. David's online over the summer. | | |
