Edith Stein was born in 1891 in Poland to a Jewish family and led an academic career in German philosophy before converting to Catholicism and joining the order of Discalced Carmelites. As a nun, she continued her philosophical writings with a focus on Christian spirituality until her martyrdom at Auschwitz in 1942. Zoom link on the Welcome page

Parishioner Paul Russell is the author of  Through Woods on Water, a historical fiction account of the life of Étienne Brûlé as it might have been.  Brûlé, an explorer, was mentored by Samuel de Champlain and lived with the Huron during the 17th century. Many French missionaries, including Saint Jean de Brebeuf, followed him to Huronia and would eventually die at the hands of the Huron. This session will be offered both in person in the lounge at SMM and live streamed via Youtube.
