Please join us this Thursday evening, March 24 at 7:00pm in the St. Paul Parish Hall for Part Two of our three-part Lenten Lecture Series focusing on Pope Francis’ book, “Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future.”
Kelly Meraw, Director of Collaborative Pastoral Care, will continue the series by breaking open Part Two – A Time to Choose. In this section, Pope Francis offers an unsparing critique of the systems and ideologies that came together to produce the current crisis. He reminds us that Christians’ first duty is to serve others, especially the poor and the marginalized, just as Jesus did.
Those wishing to understand Pope Francis’ emphasis on synodality will find many revelations here – we encourage everyone to read this wonderful book and come to the lectures!
Written during the pandemic in collaboration with his biographer Austin Ivereigh, Francis poignantly captures the ills of today’s world and suggests practical solutions for overcoming them, both personally and systemically, in a relaxed and conversational tone.
While we do encourage everyone to read the Pope’s book, it is not required or even necessary to have read the book to benefit from the lectures – all are strongly encouraged to attend!
If you are unable to join us in person, you can join via livestream by clicking the St. Paul Live Stream link.
