Lenten Seminar:

This year Pope Francis inaugurated a Jubilee Year in honor of the 1,700^th anniversary of the Council of Nicea. This council gave us in large part the creed we recite at every Sunday Mass and on Solemnities. With this in mind, I will be offering a seminar on the creed using “Credo: Compendium of the Catholic Faith” by Bishop Athanasius Schneider. We will meet for six weeks on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm in the Father Sullivan Meeting Room located below the parish office. The seminar will begin on February 25^th and conclude on April 8^th. We will skip March 25^th due to our Lenten Mission. For those interested, you should purchase the book and the study journal from Sophia Press, 1-800-888-9344. Please register through the parish office. Fr. Cannon
