Deeper Dialogue: Theology of the Body

Mondays starting Sept. 12 | 7:30pm

Immerse yourself in a deeper form of conversation surrounding JPII's Theology of the Body. Led by Casey Karbowski and Marisa Michak, the group will examine excerpts from the book as well as other related materials to break up the content into more digestable and easily understandable elements for discussion. No need to have a hard copy of any Theology of the Body books as all materials and discussion points will be provided on a weekly basis. Join on Monday evenings at 7:30pm starting Monday, Sept. 12th!
