    This looks terrific, Kevin and all! Thank you for organizing and inviting us. Is it ok for us to invite leaders and members of our own parishes to attend? Thank you and warm regards to all.

      Hi Christine, my apologies for not replying earlier. I just saw this message now. Yes, please feel free to invite anyone who is interested! All of the sessions are being recorded as well. They'll be posted shortly after each session on the website listed above as containing extra information on each panel. So, Maureen O'Connell and Bishop Joseph Tyson's excellent opening to the series should soon be available to anyone who missed it.
