Respectful Conversation among Adult Catholics on topics of interest.On the last Monday of each month adults who identify themselves as Catholic or former Catholics gather for food/drinks (optional-at own expense) and conversation prior to the evening’s program.

Presenters: Gary Buseck of GLAD and Marianne Duddy of Dignity and Hospice House Monday, October 30
