Summer is right around the corner. In addition to going to parades, eating hot dogs, and watching the sunset over the lake, summer means a good summer read. A good summer read is often different than what we might read the rest of the year and that is no different for HNOJ Adult Formation. No pre-work, written work, just come ready to discuss the theological and spiritual aspects and insights of the work.
