Held at St. Joseph Parish Hall

In light of the recent controversies in both Nation and World concerning the human rights of women, immigration policies, economic strategies, ethnic strife, and the interplay of religion and politics, we turn to the person and work of St. Paul the Apostle for guidance in more than troubled times. We will explore what the Apostles might think in light of his writings and the writings attributed to him in the New Testament literature.
