You don't need to wait for the Open House to take a next step:

• Become a Member of Sacred Garden Community — membership is the formal entry into our community and the foundation of the Pathway Program. It includes the Confirmation Process, a short educational journey that prepares you to work with the sacraments and attend the Initiatory Ceremony.

We're grateful you're considering walking this path with us.
