Leadership from Lynchburg College

Jan 13, 2017

We were honored to have a Haitian exchange student from Lynchburg college come speak with our high school students about leadership. The Diocese of Richmond's Parish Twinning Program first introduced us to pastor Ann Gibbons almost 20 years ago! Students have come to share their talents with us over the years. We hope to see more of Ancito Etienne this summer so he can start implementing a leadership program in the high school!
