Roundtable Discussions at Canterbury House
|
Join us Thursdays at 6:00 PM as Canterbury House opens our doors for a community potluck meal followed by roundtable discussion as we work towards “creating a new society in the shell of the old." Some nights we will invite expert speakers, others we may have a topic with a short reflection to read and discuss. A schedule of topics and speakers will be regularly updated on our website and promoted in the bulletin.
No signup is required! The purpose of our gatherings is to gain a deeper insight into our faith and how we respond as Catholics to contemporary issues in our community and beyond. “I want the clarification of thought.” -Peter Maurin Upcoming Discussions at Canterbury House |
