The Saints in Our Lives

Bernadette Mandrusiak with our Religious Education Department has started a new series called The Saints in Our Lives. A short video series where we talk to people around our Eparchy about the Saints and Holy People they turn to. This weekly series is streamed on our Facebook and YouTube account every Friday at 7:00, and will be posted on our Eparchial website here. In this first episode we look at the impact St. Macrina has had on other people’s lives, and how that impact continues on today. In this episode we discuss:

? Who was St. Macrina?
? What does St. Macrina teach women in our church?
? How did she influence our church’s theology? 

… and more! Watch the episode today to learn more about this great Saint!
