Lifelong Formation // Episode 22
A Word from Our Outpost, with Joseph and Crystal Gruber
Continuing our look at Chapter 6 of Apostolicam Actuositatem, we go through paragraph 30 of the document, which outlines a lifetime of formation for the apostolate. We also mention family life, schools, lay groups, discipleship, and the Trapp Family Singers.
