Pastoral Leadership Study Day was held on October 29th. Part of the Emmaus Pastorate staff traveled to Cedar Falls to join other clergy and staff from around the Archdiocese for the fall Pastoral Leadership Study Day in October. The topic of the day, "The Church's Mission in a Polarized World," was presented by Fr. Aaron Wessman. Carol Steger from St. Patrick was able to attend along with other members from our pastorate.
