Lay Spiritans John & Anne Marie Hansen, Rich & Daneen Gosser and Debbie Zugates met for their monthly on-going formation meeting on January 10, 2016. Their meeting focused on a discussion of their upcoming presentation for the North American Lay Spiritan Associate meeting in Scarborough, Canada, Spiritan website updates on Lay Spiritans and the formation program for 2016. Currently, 9 laity are in their 2nd year of formation and 2 additional lay people are in their first year of formation.

The two-hour monthly on-going formation meetings precede the monthly formation meetings. On-going formation meetings usually take place at Laval House and formation meetings take place in the Spiritan Campus Ministry Center in Towers dorm, also on Duquesne University campus.
