Diocese to host renowned Theology of the Body speaker

“As young men left home to follow a rabbi in Jesus’s day, it is said that their families and neighbors would call out, ‘May you be covered in the dust of the master!’”

We, as disciples of Jesus, are invited to do the same.”

If we are to become an evangelizing church, a vital task is deepening our own conversion, by allowing Jesus to re-form the way we see the world.
