Morning of Reflection: April 19th
St. Augustine said, “We are Easter people and Alleluia is our song!” One way of being Easter People is to reflect in our lives on the roles of the Risen One.
During this Morning of Reflection, Fr. Tom Zelinski will lead us in a reflection on how our lives can participate in the aspects of Jesus’ life and mission as Priest, Prophet, and King.
Call us at (248) 651-4826 to register!
