Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton
Sunday Afternoons, 3:00 – 4:30 pm in the Parish Center
Beginning January 18 to February 22
(Dates to be confirmed as this series unfolds).
Moderator: Steve Maddaloni from Pope John Seminary
This wonderful series is intended for anyone seeking to live more contemplatively. Through a prayer and reading from Thomas Merton and other spiritual masters and the resource of the book, available at the first session, participants revisit and refresh their perspectives on life. This opportunity helps us to understand what Merton insists: that our spiritual life is our everyday lived experience. To register, e-mail Steve Maddaloni at smaddaloni@msn.com. Book payment at first session. All Welcome!
