Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you. - Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium
Attend the three-day Parish Mission to enliven your Lenten spiritual journey and enter more fully into the mystery at the heart of the Christian life:
That we are profoundly loved by God.
That God has saved us and will continue to save us.
That we are not alone.
We invite you to risk trusting in the power of God’s love to create communion across differences of language and culture and circumstance, to turn to one another in the breaking of the bread and the sharing of our lives, so that we might be nourishment for one another.
Won’t you come and be fed.
All are welcome | Todos son bienvenidos.

About our Guest Preacher, Dr. Anathea Portier Young
Professor Portier-Young specializes in second temple Jewish literature, with special attention to early Jewish apocalypses, testaments, and novellas from the third through first centuries BCE. Her other research interests include prophecy, embodiment, incarceration, identity, sexuality, gender, and ethnicity, and traditions of violence and nonviolence in Old Testament and other early Jewish literature. Her book Apocalypse Against Empire: Theologies of Resistance in Early Judaism (Eerdmans, 2011) views the first Jewish apocalypses as literature of resistance to imperial domination and hegemony. Her second book, Prophecy in the Body (in progress), argues for the centrality of embodied experience, action, and reception within ancient Israelite and Judean prophecy. She is co-editor of the forthcoming volume Scripture and Justice (Lexington Press). Portier-Young has published scholarly articles on violence in biblical literature, apocalyptic literature and imagination, and on the books Daniel, Judges, Esther, Tobit, 1 Enoch, Testament of Job, Joseph and Aseneth, and 1 Corinthians. She writes regularly for the website WorkingPreacher.org. |
Following daily mass on March 9th-11th there will be time for faith sharing and fellowship in the gathering space to reflect with the themes of the Parish mission.
