Diocese of the Rocky Mountains
Educational Cohort
RESOURCE PAGE
The purpose of this page is to bring together as many resources as possible for the DRM Educational Cohort. My vision is to see several more collaborative programs being offered in our diocese serving our families and ministering to our communities in the coming years, and I’d love to create an online community that meets throughout the year to encourage each other in this work.
Please share any additional resources you find and send them to Deacon Ben (StBenedictHall@gmail.com) to add to this document.
