Fr. Savage to Lead Parish Lenten Mission April 3-5

Mar 25, 2017

Lenten Mission, April 3-5, with Fr. Warren Savage

 “ Spirit Filled Evangelizers: The Delightful, Comforting Joy of Evangelizing”

Pope Francis in his encyclical, Evangelii Gaudium , The Joy of the Gospel says: "Spirit-filled evangelizers means evangelizers fearlessly open to the working of the Holy Spirit." He says that a “spirit-filled evangelization is one guided by the Holy Spirit...the soul of the Church called to proclaim the Gospel.” This year's Lenten Mission will offer people from all walks of life an opportunity to reflect on and rediscover some of the spiritual motivations and reasons for evangelizing today.
