      As described by Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, “If you allow him, the Wild Goose will lead you on an adventure greater than you can imagine. The Spirit will lead you to a place of mercy, healing, peace, and presence. The Holy Spirit has been given to us not as a possession to be tamed or controlled, but rather as a Person that will lead us to the Heart of God. The Wild Goose series will help you experience a deeper relationship with the Person of the Holy Spirit, and as you come to experience God’s presence and power this very same Spirit will transform you and bring you freedom.”
   Come join us between the Masses each Sunday from June 11^th through August 20^th at 9:15 a.m. in Shepherd Hall as we follow this series “The Wild Goose”. Enjoy coffee & donuts, watch a 30 minute video by Fr. Pivonka, discussion with those at your table, a reflection and fellowship. For more information call the parish office.http://thewildgooseisloose.com/why-wild-goose
