Course Description

“In this age of relentless activity, it is easy for Christians, particularly those involved in good works, to fall into the pattern of activist. But mere activity and material results are not sufficient for a successful apostolate.” This course is based off the renowned book, “The Soul of the Apostolate” by Dom Chautard and focuses on the interior life as a foundation to for all apostolic work.
