Learning to Hope with St. Catherine of Siena
How does one continue to hope in the Lord when prayers seem to go unanswered? Despite the difficulties St. Catherine of Siena faced in her life and in the Church, her hope was placed, not in herself, but in the Lord God who worked mighty deeds through her, including bringing the pope back to Rome. Join us as we learn from this woman of hope how to grow in hope.
