Empowering the Ages: Virtual Service Program for Junior High and High School Students
 Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese of Washington are launching a new ministry of presence program that brings together junior high and high school students and older adults to have meaningful conversations in a supervised weekly virtual setting.  The program is called Empowering the Ages’ Crossing Paths Program. This is an eight-week program led by experienced professionals. Students can earn community service credits while gaining an appreciation for communicating with an older generation.   For more information, please contact Deacon James Nalls [email protected] or by phone at 301-674-4091.
