About this Event
Theology of the Body was written by Saint Pope John Paul II and was taught in over 100+ papal audiences. Theology of the Body states "The body, in fact, and only the body, is capable of making visible what is invisible: the spiritual and divine. It has been created to transfer into the visible reality of the world the mystery hidden from eternity in God, and thus to be a sign of it. (TOB 19:4)".
Join us in English and Spanish as Bill Donaghy, Gustavo Mejia, and Marco & Ania Casanova introduce and reflect on this beautiful and robust teaching.
