Deacon Dave Rotterman presents: "The Lost City of Bethsaida"-Monday, February 25 from 7-8 PM in Our Lady of Pompeii Church.
Located at the north end of the Sea of Galilee, the city of Bethsaida was home to several of the apostles and the site of a number of the miracles of Jesus.  Yet in the centuries after Christ, the city was lost for almost 1700 years.  This presentation will share the history of Bethsaida and its rediscovery and excavation in the 1980’s.

The Passion of Our Lord
The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Passion of Our Lord in anticipation of the liturgical season of Lent. In this month, we begin to meditate on the mystery of Jesus' sufferings which culminated in his death on the Cross for the redemption of mankind. Saints who had a special devotion to Christ's passion include St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first known saint to receive the stigmata; St. John of the Cross; St. Bridget of Sweden; and St. Catherine of Siena.
