Hectic Work Week & the Peace of Sabbath
Explore the dignity of work. St. Francis of Assisi heard God’s call to work. He responded to this divine invitation by becoming a laborer, rebuilding small churches. His manner of working provides for us a model of six steps, one step for each day of the work week. Six days of work and on the seventh we find peaceful rest.
Keynote Speaker: Fr. Michael Lasky,OFM Conv. Response: Sister Damien Marie Savino, FSE, Ph.D.
Date: March 12th 2020 Time: 6:30 P.M. Location: Albertus Magnus Hall of Science at Aquinas College Cost: $50 (includes light strolling dinner) Purchase Tickets: Sparkwork2020.Eventbrite.com
