1 LIFE IS AN ONGOING JOURNEY. It begins with God who creates us, accompanies us through life, death and resurrection until we return to Him in glory. God holds our hand on the journey and we are invited to hold the hands of our brothers and sisters on every step. Along the journey we meet many people: parents, family, friends, teachers, classmates, co-workers. Each one has a purpose in our life. We are companions along the journey with God and with each other. The word companion comes from two Latin words: com with and pan bread. We break bread and share meals with the ones we love. Enjoy every moment of the journey. Appreciate where you are now while being grateful for the past and looking forward to the future confidently. Pope Francis says that it s not enough to build for oneself an image of God based on what one has heard said; it s necessary to seek the divine Master and go where He dwells. Come. Be the Church now. Seek the Lord and join your companions both those you know and those you do not yet know at Spring Enrichment Participants will have ample opportunities to deepen their knowledge of the faith and renew their relationship with the Lord Jesus and His Church. Offering numerous sessions that could benefit those seeking to learn more about the faith and different ministries in the Catholic Church, there is something for everyone at Spring Enrichment, even you.

While we will do our best to accommodate walk-in registrations on-site during Spring Enrichment, we ask that all printed registrations be received by our office no later than Monday, May 7 and that all online registrations be completed by Wednesday, May 9. Registrations received after these dates will be treated as walk-in registrations. Family & Group Registrations A husband and wife who are both registering for Spring Enrichment or a parish, school or other organization/group registering more than one individual may either complete multiple printed registration forms or select the group registration option on the online registration web page. Group registration would also be used if using the same address for more than one registrant. Fees, Discounts & Payment Depending on when you register (and payment) is received and how you register (paper or online) affects the registration fee for the number of regular, two hour courses you are registering for.
