Festival of Faiths

An Interfaith Celebration

 

Will return in the future.

 

Interfaith Forum usually holds a Festival of Faiths in the fall of the year.  It is a wonderful opportunity to learn from each other and celebrate the diversity of our faith communities. The festival is not being held this year as Interfaith Forum focuses on Dinner Dialogues, a new initiative being held in multiple cities. Look for the return of the Festival of Faiths in the future.

If you have an interest in future Festival of Faith activities, please contact us at interfaithforum@cs.com.
