Men’s Night welcomes Archbishop Thompson

On October 25, over 70 students and resident parishioners gathered to hear Archbishop Charles Thompson of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, speaker for the fall semester’s Men’s Night.

His focus was on the book by Henri Nouwen, “The Return of the Prodigal Son”. In his book, Nouwen contemplates the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s resentfulness, and the father’s compassion.

Archbishop Thompson talked not just about the book, but how the Lord yearns for us, and how we yearn for the Lord. Having the Archbishop speak with attendees was a great reflective opportunity.

Both the Men’s and Women’s Nights are available at no cost to our students because of the generosity of St. Paul’s benefactors. Thank you!
