On Tues. May 13 at 10 am and again on Wed. May 14 at 6:30 pm. Charlie Imbriani will be giving lecture on the Blessed Mother, Mary. He will unveil Mary’s critical role in our redemption – Mary as Co-Redemptorist. Answer the question why Jesus called his mother “Woman” on two occasions and what it signified. We will take a deeper look at both the Annunciation, Visitation, and the Joyful mysteries of the Rosary. Did you know the earliest Christians venerated Mary? We will show you when and how. The Blessed Mother is deeply embedded in the Scriptures, the Tradition and history of the Church. There is much more on the Mary that we will discuss. All are welcome!
