Faith Formation Commission at Tolten Tea

The Faith Formation Commission sponsored a table of edible delights at the Annual Tolten Tea.
In addition members of the commission interacted with guests, and explained the many formative opportunities offered by Holy Name Cathedral. They are blue ribbon winners by my estimation!
