Join Us for a New Book Study
We warmly invite you to join us as we explore the extraordinary life and spiritual wisdom of St. Paisios of Mount Athos, one of the most beloved contemporary saints of the Orthodox Church.
Known for his deep humility, compassion, discernment, and unwavering love for God and others, St. Paisios (1924–1994) offered spiritual guidance to countless people from all walks of life. His teachings speak to the struggles we encounter every day—anxiety, suffering, relationships, prayer, forgiveness, and learning to trust in God's providence.
Our study will begin by getting to know the saint himself: his childhood, his journey into monastic life, his experiences on Mount Athos, and the remarkable love with which he welcomed and counseled those who sought his help. As we explore his life, we will also introduce the spiritual teachings that shaped it. In subsequent gatherings, we will delve more deeply into his teachings and discover how his wisdom can enrich our own lives and draw us closer to Christ.
Everyone is welcome! Whether you are a lifelong Orthodox Christian, new to the faith, from another Christian tradition, or simply curious to learn more, we would be delighted to have you join us. No previous knowledge of Orthodoxy or St. Paisios is necessary. Come with your questions, your experiences, and an open heart as we learn, reflect, and grow together in a warm and welcoming fellowship.
We look forward to sharing this beautiful journey of faith with you!
- Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m.
