A Lenten Journey: Rediscovering Faith, Hope, and Charity

Join us for four Wednesdays in Lent at 7 p.m. in a journey to rediscover the meaning of the most important Christian words: Faith, Hope and Charity. The meditations will follow the path given by Servant of God Msgr. Luigi Giussani (1922-2005), founder of the international lay Catholic Movement Communion and Liberation.

Meditations will be held at St. Vincent Ferrer Parish, 1530 Jackson Avenue (North Avenue between Jackson & Lathrop), River Forest, IL in the Cabrini Room (enter off courtyard behind church).
