When Beauty Calls
Join us as we delve into the beauty and grace of Our Lady, while being inspired by Bishop Caggiano as he illustrates why Mary’s beauty is a calling in itself; Fr. Sam Kachuba speaks on the way Mary is moving through the younger generations; and Fr. Chris Argano speaks on the impact and influence the All Beautiful has on one’s vocation and calling to religious life!
This gathering promises to be a spiritually and personally enriching experience, perfect for those looking to grow closer to Our Lady and deepen their faith and devotion.
We also encourage you to pray about inviting a friend or three. You’ll be amazed at the power and impact of a prayerful invitation!
