A TIME TO SAY HELLO AND A TIME TO SAY FAREWELL

The next time you visit Pauline Books and Media, you will see new faces!  In these days two new Sisters have arrived to join Our Pauline community here in Redwood City.  Sister Nancy is coming from our community in Boston and Sister Gioan Lihn joins us from our community in Hawaii!  In two weeks, Sister Neville will complete the community.  She is coming from Philadelphia! 

We are so excited to have these sisters with us!  Please stop by the center and give them a warm welcome.
In the weeks to come the Sisters will share with you some of their experiences and background.

For the past two and a half years, it has been a great joy for me to be here in Redwood City.  When I arrived you welcomed me with open hearts.  Now it is time for me to say farewell.  On Tuesday, October 4th, I leave for our community in Charleston.  You are God's blessing in my life! The many times we have come together at the Friday Movie nights, the Fiction Book Club, the Women's book club, and our new Jesus of Nazareth Study group, or when you have come into the book center, all of these have been moments which have enriched my life!  As I leave California I carry you all in my heart and in my prayers. Be assured that each day during my hours of Adoration, I will bring you before the Lord.

     With much affection and prayer, Sister Kathleen Thomas

Lectionary Movie nights September through June

September 2nd we will begin a new year of our Lectionary Based Movie Nights.  We gather every first Friday.  This year we will take our Movies and scriptures from the book: Ten Commandments; Light Camera, Faith.

Each time we meet we will discuss one of the commandments in light of the Movie we watch.  I have already prepared the first five movies.  September's theme is the Ten Commandments in general, then each month we will focus on one commandment beginning with the First.

Please keep this in mind when you are planning your events for the up coming months.

Jesus of Nazareth Vol. II Study Group

On July 14th six people joined the first meeting for our Study of Jesus of Nazareth Vol.II.  It was a good beginning.  We have planned to use one chapter of the book each time we meet and use the study guide to prepare for our sharing each month.

Our next time together is Sept.8th. Please mark your calendars.  We will meet every second Thursday of the month at 6pm.  The meeting will last about one hour.  You are welcomed to come to all of our studies days or come when you can.  Just remember that each month we will take a new chapter, so if you miss a month we will be sharing on the next chapter.

Pauline Books and Media presents Trailblazing Deacon John Green, Founder of Emmaus Ministries

Deacon John Green will be our guest speaker on Wednesday, June 22nd. His presentation will focus on Missional Living and will share his insights regarding how the Lord guides us forward and sustains us in the mission to which he calls us as disciples of Jesus.

John Green is the founder of Emmaus Ministries and is known for his work on the streets of Chicago. His ministry began over twenty years ago as a result of Green being struck by the horror of a homeless man throwing himself off a midtown-Manhattan building-right before his eyes. He is the author of recently published book Streetwalking with Jesus - Reaching Out In Justice and Mercy.

The presentation will begin at 7 pm followed by a Meet and Greet, where Deacon John Green will sign his new book.

New Study group on Jesus of Nazareth Vol. II begin July 7th

On July 7th at 6 pm we will begin an on going study of Jesus of Nazareth vol.II at Pauline books and Media.  Our first meeting will be informal as we plan together how many chapters to discuss each month.  Dennis McCourt will be the facilitator for the group and will be using the discussion guide that was produced by Ignatius press.

Pope Benedict says " Only in this second volume of Jesus of Nazareth do we encounter the decisive sayings and events of Jesus life...I hope that I have been granted an insight into the figure of our Lord that can be helpful to all readers who seek to encounter Jesus and believe in Him." 

I began to read this books during Lent and found it a beautiful mediation as I journeyed with Jesus during His last days on earth.

This is a great way to listen to the insights of others and discuss the different events from Jesus entrance into Jerusalem to His Resurrection.

I look forward to seeing you on Thursday July 7th at 6 pm. Please bring your copy of Jesus of Nazareth or you may purchase a copy that evening.
