Join us Wednesday June 24 at 6:30 pm in the parish hall for our June Book Club meeting. We'll be discussing Mexican Archbishop Luis Martinez's book "Worshipping a Hidden God: Unlocking the Secrets of the Interior Life." Martinez (1881-1956) shows how to live in the obscurity of faith, detached both from consolations and desolations, and why this is best for your soul. The Christian who learns to do this leaves behind the perturbations of the world that shake the faith of those who don’t.
