Popular Catholic author, Dawn Eden, will be giving a talk at Grotto about her new book, “My Peace I Give to You: Healing Sexual Wounds With the Help of the Saints”. This book walks through adversities in the lives of some saints and shows how they responded. While it is targeted at victims for healing, the book is a good read for everyone, especially those who suffer in any way. Dawn will give her talk at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 20th, in the lounge and it is limited to adults only. There is no cost.

Perrone know your talents and availability and he can include you on the list of those he contacts via email or phone when the need arises. It might be something that is a onetime event or something that is done as often as you are able. Email Fr. Perrone at grottorectory@ameritech.net.
