The group invites all St. John's women and their friends to join them as Sister Catherine Cahill, OSF, facilitates on Tuesday, March 19, beginning at 10:15 a.m. The group will be studying the parable of "The Persistent Widow" (Luke 18:1-8) as part of their ongoing spring study of the parables of the Bible.
The group will continue their focus on Jesus' parables as they gather through the end of April.
