Tuesdays, March 12, 19, 26 and April 2, after the 12:05 p.m. Mass How a handful of Jesus' disciples converted an unwilling Roman empire by Father Michael Connolly, OSFS Come and hear Father Michael Connolly, OSFS explain How a handful of Jesus' disciples converted an unwilling Roman empire. The Gospels tell us that days after the crucifixion, eleven disciples and a few women and men came to believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Before three centuries had passed, this handful of lower class, illiterate or semi-literate Jews from rural Galilee had become a church of some 30,000,000. How did this happen? There will be four Tuesdays sessions (March 12, 19, 26 and April 2) after the 12:05pm Mass. A light lunch will be provided before each lecture. All are welcome.
