October 2: Program for Women
6:30 p.m. in the Church Social Hall
This year’s theme focuses us on the door of faith, always open for us,
beckoning us to rediscover more about the core of faith as love offered and accepted, an invitation to ponder the biblical revelation of love and say ‘yes’!
Through reflection, prayer, sharing with a fabulous potluck, we will enter that door of faith together every first Tuesday evening, beginning October 2.
All Welcome! (Bring one of your favorite Fall recipes)
Moderator: Sr. Evelyn Ronan, SND
