GENERATIONS OF FAITH
Who:  You and your household
What:  Generations of Faith – the Defiance Catholic community intergenerational, lifelong formation project – will examine poverty in our country: why it exists, what Jesus and the Church have to say about it, and how we can give priority to the poor and vulnerable among us.
When:  This Sunday, November 9, 12:30 – 2:30, or Wednesday, November 12, 6:30 – 8:30
Where:  St. John Parish Life Center and Church
Why:  Catholic Social Teaching is an integral part of our faith.  As Jesus says, “Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to me.”
Please stop in the St. John Church basement at 12:30 on Sunday (or 6:30 on Wednesday) to pick up your HOME KIT and to share fellowship.  Everyone is invited!
