Lent begins on March 5. While most people associate Lent with fasting and giving up things, there are two other great works of Lent: works of charity and prayer. This Lent, we have asked one of the priests from the Josephinum to visit our parish on Tuesday evenings, beginning March 11, to offer a “School of Prayer” to help us learn to pray more, and to pray better. Sessions will be held each Tuesday in the Saint Cecilia Room, beginning at 7:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend.

He has taught at Benedictine College in Atchisson, Kansas, and at diocesan seminaries in Emmitsburg, Maryland and Houston, Texas, before coming to Columbus and the Pontifical College Josephinum in 2017, where he serves as a spiritual director and an associate professor of theology.
