“The Bible is full of passages about angels who are sent to accomplish God’s will. Angels speak for God, direct the course of nations, and protect God’s people. They worship God and deliver God’s judgment. In Angels in the Bible, Fr. George Smiga examines some of the Bible’s most fascinating passages about angels, exploring their ministry on God’s behalf and drawing insights for our own spiritual lives. Because angels are mediators of God’s presence and action, studying angels is studying God. Commentary, study and reflection questions, prayers, and access to online lectures are included.”

If interested, please contact and register with the Parish Office (815) 232-8271.

Books will be available for pick-up after Masses on the weekend of Sept. 14th-15th.

FYI: It’s best the first lesson be read before class begins on September 22.
