Parish catechetical leaders and faith formation folks will gather for their PCL Connect Summer Enrichment Series on Aug. 18 at All Saints Parish in Stuart featuring Mike Patin.

Patin, the “Engagin’ Cajun,” uses energy, humor, and stories to remind people of God's presence among us while inviting others (and himself) to take the "next step" in our journey with God. In 1984, his ministry career began as a high school teacher & coach. He then moved to diocesan youth ministry in New Orleans for 13 years. Since 2003, he has been a full-time speaker and “faith horticulturist.”
