Subject: Update: Fr. Laurence Freeman in Toronto July 2, 2024 7-9 PM St-Paul's on Bloor

Dear all,
Please join us for this rare opportunity to be with Fr. Laurence Freeman in Toronto on his way to the National Conference.
We are very excited to be hosting this one night only, in person event on the theme "The Ever-Present Origin".
"Under the stresses of modern living, we easily become uprooted and scattered, living fragmentary and distracted lives and yet,
even when living in this way, we are not far from the kingdom, the "ever-present origin"
which is the presence of God in all places and at all times. Meditation re-roots us in this experience of real presence."

When: July 2, 2024 7:00-9:00 PM
Where: St. Paul's on Bloor, 227 Bloor Street East, Toronto, M4W 1C8
