Thirty Steps to Heaven

Lenten Book Study Week 2
March 16, 2022

- Fr. Gabriel McHugh -




This year during Lent our parish is bringing to mind our movement toward the Bridegroom: Christ. As such we have the theme: “Ascending Toward the Bridegroom” placed before us. It is fitting to look for personal spiritual refinement in the writings of the saints and Fathers of the Church.

Join us each Wednesday evening after Pre-Sanctified Liturgy during Lent for a study of 'Thirty Steps to Heaven.' An approachable rendering of The Ladder of Divine Ascent by St. John Climacus.

Pre-order your copy through our parish book store HERE.

Schedule of topics:

March 9 - Renunciation

March 16 - Detachment

March 23 - Exile

March 30 - Obedience

April 6 - Repentance
