Spirituality Seminar hosted by Fr. Rob
Every Tuesday night at 7:15 PM on ZOOM.

8 Week Program every Tuesday night starting Tuesday June 17, 2025

At the Abbey of Gethsemani, "the four walls of my new freedom," Thomas Merton struggles to withdraw from the world, but only after he has fully immersed himself in it. At the abbey, he wrote this extraordinary testament, a unique spiritual autobiography that has been recognized as one of the most influential religious works of our time. In this remarkable book, readers will gain insight into:

· How spiritual fulfillment leads to the deepest form of self-discovery.

· The true redemption that comes from forgiving ourselves and past sins.

· The sacred power of vulnerability and relinquishing control.

· How to navigate our desires, discouragements, possibilities, and limitations.

· How our cumulative lived experiences broaden our cultural acceptance.

· What it truly means to be human in the world.

IHM Food Pantry is open every Wednesday from 10:00 AM until 11:30 AM.
And every 2nd Sunday of the month from 10:00 AM until 11:30 AM.

The entrance is located towards the rear doors at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church.
1571 South Martine Avenue. Scotch Plains, NJ 07076.

New Guests: Please bring photo ID and/or proof of residency.
