Tuesday, October 13, 2020
7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Sr. Mary Ann Cantlon

We know the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, of Joseph, Jonah, Job, and many others.  We know the Gospel stories of Jesus feeding the crowds, of healing the crippled, and of welcoming sinners and raising Lazarus. But have we met the minor characters in the Bible and seen the effect they have had in salvation history? Can they help us in our lives of faith? Come to an evening of reflection online and explore some of these seemingly unimportant characters and be amazed!  

This program will be offered online via the Zoom platform. Information on how to access the program will be provided to participants in their registration confirmation email.

Offering: $25
