On January 15*, our program begins Part 3 of the DVD series: Finding Perfect Passion. After beginning to heal, someone who has been divorced may be anxious to find new love, but such a quest may create a false god from human relationships that will ultimately fail. These final four sessions introduce the powerful principles found in Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body, discussion the spousal analogy of Christ as the Bridegroom, the personal encounter with Christ in the Sacraments, and the intimate union with Jesus found only in the Eucharist. Please join us on Thursday, January 15th for the session "Finding Perfect Power". This session offers practical advice on when or when not to go to court, and how to be wisely generous in sharing custody and visitation with the other parent. The program is from 7:00-9:00 pm doors open at 6:45 pm Join us in the East Meeting Room, located off of the Gathering Space in the Church.
