Parish Mission. March 13-17. A Little Lent: Lent in the Spirituality of St. Therese of Lisieux. Fr. Cassian DiRocco. The same lecture will be delivered after the noon and evening Masses, Monday to Friday Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and a short meditation will follow the evening talks.

St. Thérèse, “The Little Flower”, has captured the minds and hearts of Catholics worldwide with her spirituality of “The Little Way”. What is it about this “way” that makes it so special, and the saint which gave it to us so beloved? In the season of Lent, how can we live this little way with the Little Flower in such a way that our Lent is meaningful and inspired, drawing us closer to Jesus, the source of Thérèse’s life, and the source of ours?

Fr. Curtis will be away during the week of the parish mission, giving a retreat to the Filiae sisters (Fr Cassian is their chaplain).
