We will be finishing the last 4 chapters of the book, The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic by Matthew Kelly.  Even if you did not start during Advent, you can easily catch up. We will meet at 6:30 on the following Mondays: Feb 23rd, March 2nd, March 9th and March 23rd (skipping week of Spring Break).  We will meet at the home of Kathy Post, 2132 Horseshoe Drive.  Call Kathy at 563-608-3151 to sign up or sign up through the Cluster Office. If anyone needs assistance ordering a book, let Kathy know.

Once again Deacon Tim will be leading a men's study group during Lent. Our meetings will be on Wednesday's at 7pm beginning on February 25 in the church choir room. We will be using the book, "No Greater Love", by Dr. Edward Sri. Dr Sri is a theologian, international speaker, and  author. No Greater Love, is a Biblical Walk through Jesus's passion and death. Through this journey we hope to gain insight that helps us to understand Jesus's passion by connecting it to the Old Testament which reveals God's profound love for us. We will walk the path with Jesus through Gethsemane, his trials and the crucifixion. We hope you can join us as we journey through the Lenten season. Please call Polly at the church rectory to register, or myself Deacon Tim for further details. Hope to see you there.
