BIBLE STUDY WITH FR. JACK 9-10:30AM WEDNESDAYS JANUARY 9 - FEBRUARY 27 URSULINE HALL TO REGISTER CALL JOSIE BOMMARITO AT 821-7929 CONVERSION Following the Call of Christ What makes one's life successful? Money? Power? Popularity? Happiness? Most philosophies of the well-lived life are based on having something. But the Christian perspective is that it is better to be something. The goal of the Christian life is to grow in loving relationship to Christ, becoming more like Him through the immersion of our entire selves in His Church, the Body of Christ. But our transformation in Christ will not occur until we recognize Him as our ultimate concern. In CONVERSION, explore the stories of six ordinary biblical figures with Father Barron, using their examples to grow ever closer to Christ. The CONVERSION DVD and accompanying Study Guide can help you understand the power of an encounter with Christ and help you recognize when Christ is calling you personally. Father Robert Barron is an acclaimed author, theologian and podcasting priest from Chicago, and one of the world's great and most innovative teachers of the Catholic faith. He is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. ST. PETER AND PAUL SOUP KITCHEN We served 142 guests at St. Peter and Paul on Thursday, January 3.
