On Saturday, July 1st, the Evangelization Committee hosted a lecture talk presented by Fr. Andrew Clyne who spoke on “How to Evangelize by Doing Nothing: On Cultivating the Stillness Necessary for Communion”. The talk briefly treated the topic of “doing nothing” as the ground for evangelization, with a discussion of the challenges we face to the stillness we must cultivate, especially in the form of distractions and rivals for our attention. Fr. Clyne’s lecture was inspiring. It was a lively and sincere group discussion. We are grateful for the amazing response of our parishioners with about 40-50 people in attendance and donations amounting to $220 which will support the works and mission of our St. Jane de Chantal Evangelization Committee. Father Clyne prepared a copy of his remarks from the lecture. For those who were unable to attend and are interested in reading them, click HERE!

Please be advised that the Parish office will close at 2:00 pm today- Monday, June 26th due to potential severe weather taking place this afternoon. For up to date information, visit https://weather.com/weather/today. Please be safe, and God bless.
