Thursdays, April 12th through May 31st, Our Lady of Fatima Parish will present an 8-part series by Dr. Edward Sri entitled “Who Am I to Judge?” This series helps us understand the classical view of morality and equips us to engage relativism, appealing to both the head and the heart. The eight weekly sessions will be held on Thursdays in Fatima-Gallagher Hall, with a morning session offered from 10:00 am to 11:30 am, and an evening session offered from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The cost of the study guide is $10. Register at the Parish Office.
