33 Days to Morning Glory
Looking for a way to seek holiness, but don't know where to begin? In our hectic day and time, Saints John Paul II and Mother Teresa knew that one way to be transformed is through Consecration to Jesus through Mary. The Blessed Mother leads us straight to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Join us as we use the book "33 Days to Morning Glory" by Fr. Michael Gaitley, MIC and his DVD group study as we journey into a deeper relationship with Christ through Marian Consecration. Six short classes will lead you to be transformed! Join us on Sunday evenings beginning January 5 at 7:15pm in the PLC. This class is for everyone! Please contact Suzi or Missy to let them know you will participate and they will give you information on purchasing the materials.
