RELIGIOUS EDUCATION AND VOCATIONS
MARRIAGE, FAMILY LIFE, AND THE SANCITY OF HUMAN LIFE
The Trinity
Catholic Women’s League
The course follows the revelation of Trinitarian theology
from its source in the Old and New Testaments through
the refinements of early Church Councils and includes
contemporary contributions to Trinitarian understanding.
It proceeds from an awareness that God’s revelation to
humanity is God’s revelation of Himself in Jesus.
It acknowledges Jesus as Son and bearer of the Spirit
and examines the paschal mystery from a Trinitarian
perspective.
Sacred Heart CWL Book Club begins Thurs Jan 29 at
7:00pm at Unit 701 - 640 Broadway. We will be reading
