Three Unlikely Mystics: Catherine of Siena, Carl Jung, and Etty Hillesum

Presenter: Fr. Daniel Renaud, OMI

Join Fr. Daniel Renaud, OMI, for a compelling three-part series exploring the lives and spiritual journeys of three extraordinary figures who expanded the boundaries of mysticism.

• Catherine of Siena: An illiterate medieval woman turned Church reformer and Apostle of the Blood of Christ.
• Carl Jung: A pioneer in psychoanalysis who delved into dreams and the unseen world for profound spiritual healing.
• Etty Hillesum: A young Jewish woman who embraced mystical consciousness and love, even in the face of the Holocaust.

Each session will uncover their contexts, challenges, and profound contributions to psycho-spiritual growth, inspiring us to live with courage, self-awareness, and love.

This in-person series will encourage deep reflection, providing timeless lessons for living a spiritually rich and meaningful life.
