Special Events are opportunities to join with others in groups—large and small—to “grown in wisdom and grace.”
Large Group Events are produced and scheduled by ACE-TV and are open to participants from around the Treasure Valley. The next generation of the beloved ACE-TV “Thursday Night Lecture Series,” these events may be lectures or workshops, retreats, panels, mini-courses or multi-media presentations! Like the ACE-TV courses and seminars, information about these special events will be found in parish bulletins, bulletins inserts, posters and in the Idaho Catholic Register.
Small Group Events can be arranged by contacting ACE-TV, who will assist you in holding an event for your group at your location.

Faith and Fiction is a program of inter-parish discussion using fiction (literature and film) as springboards for conversations about faith and life.
