Wednesday, September 14 from 7-9 p.m. Marni Gillard, facilitator.

Interfaith Story Circle of the Tri-City Area . A free event. All ages welcome.

This month at Albany's (newly-renovated) Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, 125 Eagle Street, Albany (corner of Madison Avenue and Eagle Street). You can park in the NYS Museum Parking Lot. Come a few minutes early to see the beautiful renovations.

During the first half-hour I'll share tales and my journey of "letting in" the Irish stories (long avoided because of difficult words, war themes, etc.)

The rest of the evening is for YOUR TALES: share a memory that shows your "culture" or "faith" tradition, or just come listen. Maybe give a glimpse of your neighborhood, school, or any aspect of life that FEELS like CULTURE. Folktales/anecdotes welcome.

My tales are IRISH, CATHOLIC, BIG FAMILY, HISTORICAL. My culture includes being a Brownie, singing in the car, joining choir, traveling as an AFS foreign-exchange student, and hanging out at the neighborhood park, swimming pool, and my Italian friends' houses.

YOUR cultural and faith tales are welcome whatever CULTURE or FAITH mean to you. Stories are 10 min. or under so many can share.

Whether or not you've attended Interfaith Story Circle, please join us for this fun-filled story-sharing.
