PLEASE NOTE COURSE DRIP SYSTEM:
The two years of formation resources to form your Sacred Story Community course was designed and created by Fr. William Watson, S.J. He uses the wisdom of St. Ignatius from the Spiritual Exercises that invites a measured and thoughtful engagement with the spiritual lessons--moving ahead slowly so the spiritual exercises have time to become heartfelt. The course is also designed to require students to watch the videos before advancing. Therefore, the Forty Weeks course is set up on a DRIP SYSTEM. You can advance week by week and the next week's lessons are opened on a 7-day cycle. This insures you take the time each week to internalize the lessons and attending your community meetings and realize that "you can't create a Sacred Story Community by going faster."

Forty Weeks - Walking with a Community
Thirty Five people, priests and lay faithful, from multiple parishes in the Archdiocese of Seattle walked the journey of Forty Weeks.
We filmed the community at different points along the journey to hear questions, challenges, graces, hopes, and fears so we could uncover all the different issues that each of us faces in trying to grow closer to
Christ in our lives with the journey of Forty Weeks.
Their reflections and questions will most likely align with the ones you have as you go through the course plus you have the added benefit
of my spiritual guidance all along the way!
