During the 50 days of Easter, join the St. Paul Center for a new Easter Challenge. 

Through weekly online videos and practical challenges, you’ll discover the deeply biblical roots of accompaniment. With Dr. Jeff Morrow, you’ll learn how, through the covenants, God accompanied humanity back to Himself and to a deeper communion with one another in Christ. 

With Fr. Boniface Hicks, you’ll reflect on how Jesus patiently formed His disciples as He accompanied them on the road to Emmaus, and how He accompanies us today on our own Emmaus journeys. 

And with the Mercedarian Sisters, you’ll discover how, through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, you can enter into Jesus' life-giving work, accompanying others on their journey to Him.
