How to Become a Saint in 6 Easy Lessons - June to July 2022
From June 7 to July 12, 2022, we met at the Collaborative Center on Tuesday evenings to focus each week on the life of a Catholic saint and how that saint's life can serve as an example for us on our own faith journey. We began each meeting with large group fellowship before dividing into separate small groups to discuss that week's saint, then coming back together to share what we discussed in a larger group. Those discussed were Saint Catherine of Siena, Saint Bernadette Soubirous, Saint Maximilian Mary Kolbe, Servant of God Dorothy Day, Pope Saint John Paul II, and Blessed Carlo Acutis.
