Nothing More Beautiful returns to Salt+Light TV this weekend

Nothing More Beautiful logoWhat is Nothing More Beautiful? It is thought-provoking teaching by a visiting bishop. It is the praying of Cathedral Vespers and beautiful sacred music. It is the powerful witness of an ordinary Catholic living out her faith in an extraordinary way. If you missed hearing Bishop Gary Gordon and Sister Annata Brockman on February 4, you can still enjoy their presentations on Salt and Light TV (on Shaw digital cable or Bell satellite) or streamed on the website at www.saltandlighttv.org at the following times:

 

Saturday, February 13, 7 p.m.
Sunday, February 14, 11:30 a.m.
Tuesday, February 16, 6:30 p.m.

 

Mark your calendar for the fourth encounter of this year's Nothing More Beautiful journey on Thursday, April 15, when we will welcome Archbishop Michael Miller of Vancouver and acclaimed author and theologian George Weigel to St. Joseph's Basilica. For more information, visit our webpage.
