Desiderata
Tuesday, August 5 at 7:00 pm at St. Matthew’s Church 672 Temple Ave, Long Beach
In these troubling times - Ukraine, Gaza, politically induced starvation, wanton disregard for the poor and the migrant, it is worth reflecting on Desiderata, a poem by Max Ehrmann written in 1927. At our August meeting our pastor Fr. Randy Campos will be our guide through this poem which emphasizes maintaining inner calm, treating others kindly, and embracing both joy and hardship with equanimity.
This will also be an excellent opportunity for new members to meet Fr. Randy, and give others the opportunity to "Ask the pastor." Fr. Randy has been wonderfully supportive of Comunidad, our ministry and our place in St. Matthew's parish community.
