AN EVENING WITH ANTOINETTE BOSCO

7 p.m. next Friday, May 13, in the church
She will discuss “Seeking Answers When We’re Battered by
Life” – how suffering calls into question the goodness of God, the
challenges it presents to one’s faith and how faith responses lead to
authentic mercy, forgiveness and peace. A syndicated columnist with Catholic
News Service in Washington, D.C., Antoinette Bosco is a prize-winning
journalist, the author of more than 200 magazine features and 12 books,
including the award-winning “Choosing Mercy, a Mother of Murder Victims Pleads
to End the Death Penalty.” Her presentation here is co-sponsored by St.
Malachi and the diocesan Commission on Catholic Community Action.
