On Thursday, Sept. 17th, we will meet in the St. Francis Meeting Room from 9:30 to 11 AM. After watching a video, we will begin a discussion on his life and how we can apply his teachings and examples of his virtues to our own journey. The following week, Sept. 24th, we will continue our discussion. Join us as we support each other on our Walk to becoming a saint with Fulton Sheen as our inspiration!

Another Day, Another Smile: Prayer and the Will of God speaks about what prayer is through the thoughts of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, St. Francis de Sales, and others (Augustine, St. John Damascene, Teresa of Avila, etc.), as well as various Scripture passages to make prayer an ordinary and sustaining “daily bread” of our lives. Likewise, the idea of the Heart, the Will of God, and living the Spiritual Life are also included. Please join us for this special presentation by parishioner Michael Goc at 7 PM on Tuesday, Oct. 6th, and 9:30 AM on Friday, Oct. 9th, in the St. Francis meeting room.
