A Three-Part Lenten Faith Formation Series,  Presentated by Steven Malec on: “The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ on the Cross”:   

As Jesus hung in agony on the cross, his mother stood in grief and in faith along with the beloved disciple and other women followers.  But from the cross, Jesus did not despair.  Instead, he continued his mission of preaching and teaching to his last breath.  Scripture records what are traditionally called “The Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ on the Cross.” 

Consider attending this special Lenten three-part series and hear, learn and ponder the words spoken by Jesus from the cross.  Try to hear him say them and try to understand the depth of their meaning.  Seek to especially understand the spiritual meaning behind each statement.    

This Lenten program is presented by Steven Malec in our parish hall.  No registration is required.  Light refreshments will be served. Please contact Dana Steimle at 440-886-1468, x17 or sbkpsr@gmail.com with any questions.
