What is our CTR “Bring-a-Friend” Lenten Book Discussion?
Virtually everyone you meet these days has a friend, neighbor and/or relative who hasn’t darkened the door of a church for possibly years and YET has expressed a great admiration for Pope Francis.
Pope Francis has a compelling way of teaching with his actions as well as with his remarkably simple yet extraordinarily deep and meaningful way of talking and writing about our Christian faith; our unity as the body of Christ and the dream of Jesus for our world.
It is our hope to capitalize on this “Francis-Effect” and encourage and “tool-up” our CTR parishioners to invite those who are perhaps not-so-regular churchgoers read, reconnect, and share about Pope Francis’ remarkable vision of all our church could be.
Beginning Jan. 30 we will be selling the masterfully edited Loyola Press book The Church of Mercy by Pope Francis for $5 a copy (60% off Amazon!). We invite you to buy a copy for a friend…or a few friends! And if you feel the time is right and God is calling, invite your friend(s) to join us for our 5-week Lenten parish book study. Ash Weds is Feb. 10th. The book studies will begin the following week and run through Holy Week, early this year, Easter is March 27th.
Beginning Jan. 30 thru Feb. 14 you can sign-up for our “Bring-a-Friend” book study by visiting our website at www.ctredeemer.org/bring-a-friend-lenten-book-discussion and following the prompts. Signing up is as easy as filling out the form with your name, email address and phone number and hitting submit. We'll take care of the rest. Not a computer person? You can also sign-up with pen and paper after Masses.
