Hearts Aflame 2012

Nov 4, 2011

Several times in recent years I have participated in the Hearts Aflame event. This is a remarkable, annual, ten day January gathering of young (18-35) adults, in an atmosphere of sound, fun-filled, life-giving Catholic life.

In recent years I have led sessions at the gathering on Blessed Pope John Paul’s Theology of the Body, and Spiritual Hunger. I have been inspired and encouraged by the deep searching faith of the young people who took part in these sessions.

Two things:
  • If you know of young people who you think might benefit from this ten-day, intensive, Catholic experience, pass on this link to them. Tell them about Hearts Aflame. The cost ($480.00 plus travel) might be a bit much for the, but you might be in a position to offer to gift them this experience. This would be a life-changing gift for an adult child, grandchild, Godchild, parishioner….

  • You might be in a position to support Hearts Aflame directly, helping them to cover their significant expenses. You will find the necessary information after the clips below or at www.heartsaflame.org.nz
