We are again offering Part I of Longing for the Holy, a spiritual journey for those who want to enrich their sense of the presence of God.  Longing for the Holy concerns the way we channel the deep longing at the core of our being and explores the themes of church community, justice, sexuality, the practices of the spiritual life, and being a mystic of the everyday.  It is based on Fr. Ron Rolheiser's book, "Holy Longing".

                    Cost:  $25 (includes book)
