Summer Series with Our Priests continues…
On Wednesday, July 21, 7-9pm, Our Lady’s Hall, Fr. Peter Fegan, O.P. will be speaking on Angels and Demons
“For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Ephesians 6:12)
Formidable and fierce warriors surround us whether we are aware of them or not. Who are these beings and what is their purpose? Do they affect our daily life, and if so, how?
