Easter Letter from the Prior Provincial
/
During the Lenten Season leading to the Sacred Triduum, we listened and reflected on how Christ was threatened by the status quo and eventually reduced to sweat, blood and tears in His passion. His promise of the resurrection kept that spark of faith focused forward moving beyond the limits of sin and weakness witnessing to new life, that continues to offer us fresh opportunities and a renewed sense of hope.

Fr. Anthony B. Pizzo, O.S. A., Prior Provincial Augustinians of the Midwest, Canada and Peru, who will speak at 7:00PM on April 1, 2019 at St. Bernard’s Church, 13030 W 143 St in Homer Glen. In addition, Imelda Salazar from the Southwest Organizing Project will speak on Common Sense Immigration Reform – a Political and Practical Perspective.
