Classic Catholic Fiction Book Club
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
By James Joyce
Tuesday, April 26th
6:30 – 8:30 PM
Parish Center
This novel/memoir deserves its status as a classic. It's a
touching and intimate look into the heart and mind of the
artist as he grows from a sensitive, open child, through his
alienated youth, into a creative adult. it traces the intellectual
and religio-philosophical awakening of young Stephen
Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to
Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology.
Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish
conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his
self-exile from Ireland to Europe.

Founder of Paulists and
1st Pastor of our Parish
History teaches indisputably that the church can exist
independently of the state much better than the state
can exist independently of the church. Is it not a sign of
a lack of faith, and an injustice to the divine character
of the church, to mistrust her ability to stand upon her
own feet and maintain herself erect?
[“The German Problem,” The Catholic World, December 1881, p. 296]

Fr. Isaac Hecker, go to www.paulist.org
Please remember in prayer the following Paulist Fathers, the
anniversary (day/year noted) of whose death is this week:
John C. Smyth* (4/17/1959), Walter Elliott* (4/18/1928),
Paul B. Ward* (4/19/1951), and Francis P. Lyons*
