When is Steve Ray Coming to IHM?
Steve Ray will be speaking at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, New Melle, MO on Saturday, September 20th from 8:30 - 11:30 am in celebration of Pope Benedict XVI’s designated “Year of St. Paul.”
Mr. Ray will be offering two talks, the first being his conversion story from the Baptist faith. The second talk will be on the life of St. Paul. (Few people have literally “walked in the footsteps of Paul” as Steve Ray has). There will also be time for a question and answer session and the chance to meet Mr. Ray personally.
The Saturday morning conference is $15/person and includes a continental breakfast.
This event is not only a fabulous way for people to “do something” for the Year of St. Paul, but will be an opportunity to invite family, friends, and prospective converts (attn: RCIA coordinators) to hear one of the most sought after speakers/converts in the Church today. People can register for the event by contacting the Immaculate Heart of Mary parish office at 398-5270 or by email at smueller [at] ihm-newmelle.org
