Teaching Love in Community As We Forgive: A Journey Toward Holiness
Date:
Thursday, October 8
Time:
6:30-8:00 pm
Place
SSJP Founders Hall
The Lord’s Prayer asks us to “forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”. Yet even as we say the words we know it is far more difficult than just saying words. This discussion will focus on aspects of forgiveness as a way to grow closer to Christ and to seek forgiveness and reconciliation as a means to grow in holiness. This event is sponsored by Stephen Ministry and is part of theirTeaching Love in Community series. This is open to all parishioners and the public!
Our presenters:

She currently teaches at Iowa State University in the English department and focuses on professional communications. A cradle Catholic, Julie has journeyed from a long period of lapsed Catholicism to fully embracing the Faith and becoming a strong advocate for community and love of neighbor.
