In a new six-week Holy Name Society Men’s Faith Formation Series study titled, My Father’s Father, Franciscan University of Steubenville President Fr. Dave Pivonka, shares his reflections after the death of his father, and invites you to reflect on yours. We’ll celebrate the successes of our fathers, face wounds that hold us back, receive healing through Christ, and rediscover our true identity as beloved sons of God. This series is a call to freedom, strength, and renewal – a chance to become the husband, father, and man that God created you to be. Join us each Tuesday from Sept. 16-Oct. 21, from 6-7a in the Parish Narthex (enter through Door #5 from the south parking lot). Bottomless coffee and fraternity are provided!
