Current Events and News YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY PROGRAM coming to St. Boniface. Calling all parishioners and friends in their early 20’s to late 30’s: St. Boniface will be starting a Young Adult group. This is a great way to get together with other young adults from the parish to socialize and get to know each other. With four different Masses on the weekends, we often don’t get to meet other people like ourselves. Watch for additional information in upcoming bulletins. RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CLASSES for children attending public schools will begin Sunday, September 21. Classes will be held in the rectory after 10:00 mass. Please call Carol, at 541-1563, if you have a child you would like to enroll.

BONIFACE SPIRITUAL BOOK CLUB met in July to discuss the Miracle of Lourdes: Message of Healing and Hope with author Rev. John Lochran, a priest in Wales who is a former chaplain to English-speaking pilgrims in Lourdes, France. Fr. Lochran shared with us his own story of healing at Lourdes and told us about his ministry as chaplain there. It was a lively and interesting discussion about miracles and our faith. On Sept. 21, our discussion will focus on Saint Paul: Called to Conversion: A Seven-day Retreat by Scripture scholar Ronald Witherup, S.S. This is an excellent book to read and meditate on during the Year of Paul. Copies of the book are available at the rectory for $12.95. In November local Franciscan Father Murray Bodo will join us in person to discuss his latest book on ten mystics. For information, contact book club moderator Lisa Biedenbach, 892-3417 or lisab@americancatholic.org. Find more information, look here.
