Augustine's "Confessions" with Deacon Harry
"Augustine’s story focuses on what matters most in life: ambition, passion, family, grief, love, wisdom, death and desire. If you only read one book this year, may I recommend Augustine’s Confessions?" - Dr. Christopher Kaczor, Word on Fire.Join Deacon Harry for a 7-part series of insights and discussion on St. Augustine's spiritual journey in his classic writing, The Confessions. If you have ever felt an absence of God, deep conflict, or an ardent longing for something more, you may find Augustine recounting parts of your story, too!
Thursdays, February 13, 20, 27, March 6*, 13, 20, 27
7:00 - 8:00 p.m.
Schooler Parish Life Center, room 104 (the middle room)
*March 6 only will be in the church basement
Books will be provided for those who register by January 14.
Optional donations will be accepted at the event.
Those who register after January 14 are still welcome, but must purchase their own book. Deacon Harry strongly recommends the Maria Boulding translation (which is the one provided by the parish).
