Speaker: Dr. Pat Fosarelli
Topic: The Spirituality of Being Single

These days, we hear so much about the spirituality of marriage and the spirituality of parenthood. Is there a spirituality of singlehood? Indeed there is! After all, many of the most prominent persons in the Judeo-Christian tradition were single…and were “lay persons.” This workshop will explore the spiritual joys and challenges of being single and will highlight ways to enliven one’s spirituality, no matter how old one is.
