Join us at 6:30pm on Wednesday, December 9 as we discuss the novel The Abbey by James Martin, SJ. About the book: A divorced single mom, Anne can barely cope with life and struggles to make sense of the death of her young son. A former architect with a promising career, Mark works as a handyman and wonders how his life got off track. The abbot of the Abbey of Saints Philip and James, Father Paul sometimes questions whether he made the right decision in secluding himself so thoroughly from the world. At this Pennsylvania abbey, this unlikely trio will discover the answers they seek—a miracle of hope and understanding that bears witness to the power of God to bring healing and wholeness to our lives. Written with the compassion, insight, and warmth of his previous bestsellers—Jesus, Between Heaven and Mirth, and The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything—Father James Martin’s debut novel is infused with deep spiritual wisdom, wry humor, and loving grace. Through his characters’ struggles, questions, and crises, we see firsthand how God uses our worries, anger, doubts, prayers, failures, and longings to help us complete ourselves and feel wholly loved.—from Amazon.com Please read the book prior to each meeting.

Join us at 6:30pm (MT) on Wednesday, January 13 as we discuss the novel North of Hope by Jon Hassler. About the book: After more than twenty years in the priesthood, Father Frank Healy is going home.

But Libby's life is unraveling, and as she becomes dependent on him, the lives around them erupt in a tangle of drugs and despair, alcoholism and death. Ultimately, Frank's vocation is tested at its weakest place: his continuing love for Libby. (from Amazon.com). Please read the book prior to each meeting.

Date and Time: Monday, January 25 at 6:00pm (MT)/ 8:00pm (ET) This workshop will be offered online via Zoom. The encyclical Fratelli Tutti (published on October 4, 2020) is a summary of Pope Francis’ vision for social justice, calling upon Christians and all people of good will to work together in “acknowledging the dignity of each human person” and to “contribute to the rebirth of a universal aspiration of fraternity” (no. 8). To that end, Pope Francis grounds his reflection in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, calling us to be women and men who “identify with the vulnerability of others, who reject the creation of a society of exclusion, and act instead as neighbors, lifting up and rehabilitating the fallen for the sake of the common good.” (no. 67). In this workshop, Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas, bishop emeritus of Tucson, will reflect on the implications of Fratelli Tutti, highlighting how the spirit of fraternity and social friendship called for by Pope Francis is at the heart of the vocation of deacons and the ministry of service.
