Our Lady of Lourdes Church

SPIRITUAL LIFE SEMINAR
Sundays, 11:30 AM in the Hall -- May 1 – July 10 (11 Weeks)
Is "pray, pay & obey" all there is for Catholics? Or is there a Catholic spirituality to be discovered? Is prayer only saying written prayers? What is the Christian/Catholic spiritual path? What difficulties might there be along the way? This seminar will give an overview of Catholic spirituality, and a map of the path to holiness. Join us Sundays at 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM (after the 10:30 AM Mass) in the Parish Hall, May 1 to July 10. Refreshments and fellowship following the seminar. Resource Book: Introduction to the Spiritual Life, Walking the Path of Prayer with Jesus, by Dr. Brant Pitre. Dibby Green, MA Theology, Augustine Institute, will lead the discussions. Contact Dibby if you have questions or need a book. Come even if you don't get the book or get the reading done - the discussions are for everyone!
