Parish Mission: The Prodigal Son

It has been said that if all the Bibles in the world and all the words of God suddenly disappeared, and if only The Parable of the Prodigal Son remained, it would be enough of the Gospel to guide Christians in the Way of Christ.

Parish  Mission:  “The Parable of the Prodigal Son – A New Perspective”                                                                                         
Presented by Deacon Benedict LoCasto

Please join us to more deeply explore the meaning of the Parable of the Lost Son, the Jealous Older Brother, and the Merciful Father. 

The Mission will be presented over three nights.                                                   
Attend for one hour all three nights, or whatever nights you can.

There will be an opportunity to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
