The St. Martin de Porres National Shrine & Institute is offering a course entitled “The History of the Catholic Church.” Its twenty sessions will be given on Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. through March, beginning on September 23 in English. (The same material will be presented in Spanish on Tuesday evenings.) Instruction will be both online and in person (with face masks and limited seating at St. Peter Church). All are invited. Fr. Carmen Mele, O.P., will lead the classes. Although there will be no charge for the course, donations to the Shrine & Institute will be gratefully accepted. Please register as soon as possible by emailing stmartin@stpeterchurch.org or calling 901-578-2643.
