On Saturday, May 15, 2004, St. Charles Borromeo Parish held a workshop for ministry leaders from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in Benedict Hall, followed by the 5:00 PM Vigil Mass and a volunteer appreciation dinner held in the Werthmann Gym. Approximately 60 of ministry leaders participated in the workshop and over 150 volunteers enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by our Hospitality Committee.

Fr. Douglas A. Morrison, a priest in the Archdiocese of Hartford and a licensed clinician and a consultant in organizational development, facilitated the workshop and gave the keynote address, "It's A Great Time to Sell Your House," at the dinner.

Below are some photos from the activities.
