FALL PASTOR’S SERIES:
Evenings with Father Merton and Father Misko THURSDAYS AT 7:00 P.M. – WOZNIAK HALL OCTOBER 20, 27, NOVEMBER 3, 10, 17
Perhaps the central theme of all of Thomas Merton’s writings is contemplation, something that belongs to all the baptized and that stands at the heart of Christian life. Join our Pastor in this fall series and enrich your own spiritual life. The books that will accompany Fr. Misko’s talks are not required reading, but may enhance your understanding of Merton: Thoughts in Solitude, New Seeds of Contemplation and The Intimate Merton. Plan to join us in Wozniak Hall for these five evenings with Merton and Misko! Pre-registration is not required. ANOINTING OF THE SICK is offered every second
Sunday of each month during the 9:00pm Compline service in the Chapel. Please join us Sunday, October 9. Compline is the last liturgical office of the day and this meditative service, held each Sunday, includes beautiful Gregorian chants of the Church. This is a wonderful prayerful way to end your weekend and prepare for the new week ahead.
