The Journey of Conversion with Dr. Patricia Cooney Hathaway

Free Online Self-Paced Course

Sunday, February 26 - Saturday, April 8

Join us this Lent as Dr. Patricia Cooney Hathaway, Professor of Spirituality and Systematic Theology, explores the journey of conversion as a letting go of the false self as we discover our true self in God.

In this FREE online, self-paced course, Dr. Cooney will illustrate this journey to our true selves in God through the compelling life stories of Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Oscar Romero, and Etty Hillesum. Their journeys of conversion illuminate and provide guidance for our own!

Completed at your own pace, you can use this course as a Lenten study or retreat experience to grow deeper in your personal relationship with God
