CTRXI: Ascent
Oct

to Oct 11

CTRXI: Ascent

Do you desire to know God and his love in a deeper way? Do you sense in your life a call to freedom, to wholeness, to more than you are now? But from within us an unvoiced fear can seem to make this ascentdifficult, at times impossible because we feel we are unable to change. It is the fear that when we reach, we may not find. That if I give myself, will God fill me in my life? The saints felt this as a call to reach out to God.

Join fellow Trojan Catholics for CTRXI in building community, strengthening your relationship with Christ, and deepening your Catholic faith.
