Looking to go a little deeper this Advent season?

You’re invited to join us for a special “book club” that will meet each Thursday during Advent after the 12:00 p.m. daily Mass to work through Set the World on Fire. This widely popular book written by Vinita Hampton Wright offers a four-week personal retreat that immerses you in the dramatic lives, historical eras, and groundbreaking ideas of four formidable saints - Thérèse of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Siena, and Hildegard of Bingen - and invites you to develop the grit, humility, pragmatism, hope, joy, and vision these women and Doctors of the Church possessed.

If you’re interested in learning more, contact Donna in the Shrine Office. Copies of the book are available for sale in the Shrine’s Gift Shop or through the link below.
