OR[Bulletin insert option]In the parish bulletin (show insert) is a card with step-by-step instructions on how to register for FREE access to formed.org and THE WILD GOOSE—please take one as you leave.I’ll close with a message from Fr. Dave Pivonka, the host of THE WILD GOOSE. “Friends, the Holy Spirit desires a relationship with us that will take us on the greatest adventure imaginable; a journey to the very Heart of God. The Holy Spirit desires to be present to us in a manner that brings light out of darkness, freedom out of bondage, order out of chaos and life out of death. Such is the power of the Wild Goose.”

Thank you for your time! I will be in the gathering space at the end of Mass to answer any questions and help you sign up.
