Day of Reflection at Precious Blood
2026-04-25 09:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Precious Blood Church
When conflict arises, our instinct is often to choose between two familiar responses: fight back or walk away. Yet in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus offers a radically different way. Jesus challenges the logic of retaliation and avoidance, inviting us instead into a courageous, creative, and transformative response to conflict.
This day of reflection will explore how Jesus’ teaching calls us beyond fight or flight and into a third option – one that resists violence, preserves dignity, and opens the possibility of reconciliation and new life.

Tentative Schedule:
9:00 am – Gathering
9:30 am – Presentation: How to Disagree Better, Vicky Otto, D. Min.
11:45 pm – Lunch
1:00 pm – Presentation: A Third Option, Fr. Kevin Scalf, C.PP.S.

Cost: $15.00

St. Gaspar Family of Parishes Reflect Day
2026-05-02 08:30 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | St. Joseph Catholic Church, 411 East Second Street, Dayton
JOIN US FOR OUR FAMILY OF PARISHES REFLECT DAY
As part of an archdiocese-wide initiative called Family Unity Discernment (FUD), the St. Gaspar Parish Family will host a Reflect session on May 2 (8:30am to 3:00pm), where members of the Family Leadership Team, Pastoral Council, and parishioners will gather to prayerfully discern ideas about our potential use of Family resources to best serve the mission of the church in our area, prayerfully led by the Center for Parish Vitality.

This is not a day when final decisions will be made nor is it a town hall meeting. Instead, using the Conversations in the Spirit synodal method, participants will discern questions derived from prior analysis discussions with our Family Leadership Team. The outcome from Reflect will be input for further discussions and discernment by the Pastor and Pastoral Council.

We invite you to join us for this important conversation at the St Joseph Center, across from Saint Joseph Church, 411 E. 2nd St., Dayton, OH 45402
To help us prepare, please RSVP by using the online form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/28P5BZM or send an email with the name(s) of who will be attending to mstoltz@preciousbloodchurch.com.
