Come Sunday October 22nd starting at 7:00 PM (following 5:30 Mass) for a light supper and Presentation in Neglia Hall. Doors will be open at 6:45. Deacon Michael Younginer has developed this Session on the two Vatican Councils for our benefit to be a bridge between our current understandings and enhanced daily Faith lives. Look at these Councils’ objectives and what they were addressing at their times in history and for the future of the Church.

The Presentation is to offer us increased insight into how they make up newer threads in the tapestry of our Catholic Christian Faith. Please sign up as soon as you can. Eith
