Firing Up Parishioners’ Faith with The Search: Fr. Jeff Gubbiotti

Firing Up Parishioners’ Faith with The Search: Fr. Jeff Gubbiotti

A campfire sprang into the pastor’s mind as a place of comfort and conversation.  That thought led to the image of tongues of fire, hearkening to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. From there, the idea evolved quickly into a plan for a faith-filled, yet fun and relaxing evening for parishioners.  Hear from Fr. Jeff Gubbiotti about how he used The Search and other resources on FORMED to craft outreach programs to both the men and the women of his parish and community. Brian Truckenbrod and Susan Murray of the Augustine Institute will welcome Fr. Jeff to the webinar.

How Can a Parish Set the Hearts and Souls of Young Adults on Fire?

How Can a Parish Set the Hearts and Souls of Young Adults on Fire?

In 2018, Jimmy Ludwig and his friend Joe Vicario, both now 23 years old, were young, Catholic adults who wanted to grow in their own faith, serve others, and build up the Church.  Together, they founded the Catching Fire ministry for young adults in Cleveland, Ohio. Today Catching Fire welcomes dozens of Cleveland-area young adults who want to be connected with their Catholic faith and brothers and sisters as they start careers, families, and vocations.

Hear Jimmy and Joe’s all-in, from the ground-up, faith-filled story about starting a ministry that welcomes, includes, and engages young adults on this Augustine Institute Parish Leader Weekly Webinar.
