St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, OCD, is depicted in the so-called “passport” photo taken in the doorway of the Cologne Carmel, a passport picture that Edith Stein (1891–1942) had to have taken for her passport (ca. December 1938-1939) before moving to Echt, Netherlands. Edith Stein, a German Jewish philosopher, converted to Catholicism and became a Discalced Carmelite nun. On Aug. 7, 1942, she was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and killed in a mass gas chamber. (Public Domain/WIKIMEDIA COMMONS)

Tuesday Evening Women's 
STudy and Fellowship

Ready to embark on “a simple but sure path to holiness?” Women of the parish are invited to join us on Tuesday evenings this Fall starting on September 21 for two incredible studies:  Consoling the Heart of Jesus (Fr. Michael Gaitley MIC) and Wild Goose videos (Fr. Dave Pivonka TOR).

Ladies will have the choice each week to attend in-person (Flaherty Hall) or virtually (via ZOOM). A registration fee of $20 will cover speakers and special events; each participant must order their own book.  For more information and/or to register, please contact Maura Sleevi (email:  mjsleevi@gmail.com or phone: 703-787-7554)
Future studies for the Spring are also planned!
