It is a time when we are called to return to the path of holiness and to rediscover the spiritual practices that nourish our soul. In this series on the Pivotal Players from Word on Fire Ministries, we present the stories of saints whose struggles and triumphs have inspired generations of Christians in their life of faith. These saints show us that there are many pathways to a deeper life with Christ the Lord and that God continues to invite everyone to make the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Facilitated by Sister Carla Thomas, O.P., Ph.D.<br \/>\n(of the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saturdays from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm, in the Parish Auditorium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>February 28th<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Saint Francis of Assisi<br \/>\n<strong>March 14th<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Saint Augustine of Hippo<br \/>\n<strong>March 21st<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Saint Benedict of Nursia<br \/>\n<strong>March 28th<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Saint Therese of Lisieux, Saint Katharine Drexel,<br \/>\nEdith Stein (Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross), and Mother Teresa of Calcutta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Parish Auditorium entrance is located under the archway<br \/>\n~Please note the auditorium is NOT wheelchair accessible~<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The season of Lent invites Christians to conversion and the renewal of their relationship with the Lord.
