Relatedly, there is a very good book on living in a “new apostolic age.” The book is called “From Chistendom to Apostolic Mission: Pastoral Strategies for an Apostolic Age” by James Patrick Shea and published by the University of Mary.
UNBREAKABLE – Father & Son Event Recap
On Saturday, September 23, 2023, Abp. Elder Council hosted our first “UNBREAKABLE – Father & Son” event at St. Gertrude. We had a great turnout, and the weather was absolutely perfect. There were fun and games, great food, and former Bengal Anthony Munoz inspired everyone with his talk. Thank you to all the Knights that planned and coordinated this event and all of the Knights that volunteered to help with the event.
