An Ignatian Path to Hope: 14 Practical Guidelines
All of us experience ups and downs in our daily spiritual life: times when God feels close and we have spiritual energy, and times when that energy wanes, and we struggle with discouragement. In fourteen practical guidelines (“rules”), St. Ignatius of Loyola offers invaluable aid toward understanding this experience, finding freedom from discouragement, and living our daily lives with joy.

Join Us As We Explore
The Most Holy Cloth – The Shroud of Turin
It is said to have been brought from the Mideast to Europe by the Knights Templar, and it is purportedly the most studied artifact in history. But the greatest claim made for this cloth is that it is the actual burial cloth of Christ. What is it, where did it come from, can it really be the burial cloth of Christ – wasn’t it proven a fake?
Come hear Deacon Ben LoCasto answer these questions in a one-hour discussion.
Deacon LoCasto is a Permanent Deacon of the Diocese of Norwich, serving the Parish of the Good Shepherd. He is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a certified Spiritual Director, as well as the Northeast Commander of the Templars Today.
