St. John Paul’s Theology of the Body: For High School Youth and all Confirmation Candidates, and Middle School (grades 7 & 8): Sunday, January 11 (2 p.m.-4:50 p.m.) in the Parish Activities Center
In 1979, Pope John Paul II begin a series of Wednesday audiences about the Catholic vision of the human person and love between spouses. 133 Wednesdays later, the Pope had completed a well developed but not quite yet understood philosophy on a sacramental view of all of life, especially relationships. 30 years later, the world has begun to revisit what is now considered a masterpiece where matter, creation, the body, everything in the universe is a metaphor for communicating something about God. Our relationships reflect the love of a personal God for us and not simply a legal view of rules. The theology of the body, matter and spirit, created and valued by God, is a beautiful Catholic vision of life.
We will be exploring this masterpiece , John Paul’s Theology of the Body, especially for 8th grade and High School Youth. This workshop is diocesan led. All Confirmation candidates, please set aside:
Sunday, January 11
2 p.m.—4:50 p.m. (all Confirmation Candidates)

In the Parish Activities Center (PAC)
