We will be hosting a four- part lecture series during this upcoming season of Lent. We will dive down into the study of conversion, penance, and the Parable of the Prodigal Son, perhaps better understood as Two Lost Sons and the Compassionate Father. What we offer purposes to encourage deeper intimacy with God by appreciating how far we may truly be apart and how much joy we may be missing. We may be moved to discover that, while side by side with our confessor, we are heart to heart with our Lord. The four scheduled talks will survey as well the lives and challenges of three Doctors or Saints of the Church whose ministries and writings on the topic of conversion/ penance and whose expositions of the parable promise to enrich and deepen our appreciation of the hidden joy of Lent—coming to ourselves and coming home to God.

The series will be held at the Parish Center Auditorium from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on:
March 11th—Conversion, Penance, current reading of Luke 15:11-32
March 18th—Life and Ministry of St. Ambrose (4th. c) ; St. Ambrose on the parable
March 25th—Life and Ministry of St. Bonaventure (13th. c.); St. Bonaventure on the parable
April 1st—Life and Ministry of St. John Henry Newman (19th. c.); St. John Henry on the parable
