AFEDJ out and about

AFEDJ Executive Director John Lent and Communications Director Heidi Shott sat down recently with hosts of the Diocese of Connecticut’s podcast, Coffee Hour at the Commons.

They talked about the institutions AFEDJ supports, what surprises the region holds for visitors, and how this work informs their spiritual journeys.
