This training will explore how accompaniment aligns with Catholic Social Teaching and the Corporal Works of Mercy of the church. Parishioners will learn about ARCH and how they can assist returning citizens in their journey and will be linked with resources for supporting this work.  Returning citizens, Diocesan ARCH committee members and community leaders will be speakers. ARCH will link interested parishioners who complete the accompaniment training with a range of opportunities to take action and volunteer. ARCH will provide ongoing training, support, and engagement opportunities to those participating in our accompaniment network.

*The training has 2 parts - both are required. Parishioners throughout the Diocese are welcome and encouraged to attend.
