We are excited to announce our first-ever live recording of The Pilgrim Soul!

Join Adrianna and Sofia in Bridgeport, Chicago on July 31st for an episode on "The Two Banks of the River: Prayer and Communion."

We are grateful for the hospitality of St. Mary of Perpetual Help, and hope to see you there!

• 6 PM: Mass
• 7 PM: Dinner & Live Episode

Tickets are available at this link, and include dinner, refreshments, and dessert. Free parking is available in the church lot. All proceeds benefit Sofia's parish, St. Mary of Perpetual Help.

Join Sofia in praying the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, guided by reflections from Father Luigi Giussani.

Please know of our prayers for you—and please pray for Giuli (and baby Luke) and Adrianna (and baby Cecilia) during their maternity leave!

You can find the other set of mysteries here:

• Glorious Mysteries
• Sorrowful Mysteries
• Joyful Mysteries

Join Giuli, Sofi and Adrianna for a conversation about identity. How is the identity of a Christian both a gift and a task? What falsehoods about identity tempt us away from this reality? Which experiences and relationships have built and revealed our identity to us? //

Our media recommendation is Mike Posner’s song “I Went Back to Ibiza”, with his prior song “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” for context. And our monthly challenge is to reflect, at the start or end of your day, on your encounters and actions, asking the question: “What does this have to do with my identity?” //
