Young Adult Book Study
He Leadeth Me by Fr. Walter Ciszek
Join us for a 7-week study on He Leadeth Me, a book to inspire all Christians to greater faith and trust in God-even in their darkest hour.
Captured by the Russian army during World War II and convicted of being a Vatican spy, American Jesuit Father Walter J. Ciszek spent some 23 agonizing years in Soviet prisons and the labor camps of Siberia. He here recalls how it was only through an utter reliance on God’s will that he managed to endure.
- Thursdays, May 8 – June 19
- 7-8:30 pm
- Youth Room
*Participants can purchase the book from their favorite bookseller.
