Theology of the Body Presentations
On three Monday evenings, 11, 18 and 25 September, Sister Helena Burns of the Daughters of Saint Paul will share a brief overview of Saint John Paul II’s masterful exposition of THEOLOGY OF THE BODY. She will show that God, the Church, the Bible, Creation, and science are all saying the same thing about what’s good for our bodies and souls, for our physical, spiritual, and relationship health. Sister Burns’ presentations will be given in the Saint Paul room of Saint Stephen’s School at 7:00 pm each Monday evening.

An award-winning author, Fr. Bochanski was given the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, by Pope Francis in recognition of "sustained and exceptional service" to the Church. Father Derek Mobilio is one our own newly ordained priests who grew up in the Diocese of Worcester and who taught in our Catholic schools before joining the Seminary.
