Third Time’s a Charm: Living our Challenging Callings
Vocations are dynamic and evolve throughout the length of our lives, from youth through middle age, from retirement through the elder years. How can change call us from lives disconnected from meaning and purpose to live out the gifts, basic instincts, and ways we are created in new multiple callings? How do we misunderstand but then realize the life that gives us purpose? Ken Olliff will share his story of finding deeper purpose in new work. For him the “Third Time’s a Charm.” Come this Sunday to the St. Cecilia Room at 10:25a.

CrossWalk: Diocese of Chicago’s Witness Against Violence
CrossWalk, a prayerful 4-mile procession across the heart of Chicago, will take place on Monday evening of Holy Week, Apr 2. Part rallying cry and part requiem, CrossWalk will begin at the Gold Coast’s historic St. James Cathedral, cross through the center of the city, and take us to the stark reality of John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital, ending our journey where so many of our city’s most vulnerable trauma patients end theirs. For the details, go to the Diocese’s website.
