The Cathedral Book Club meets on Thursday, November 7, 2024, in the West Conference Room, 7 - 8pm, to discuss "Rekindling Wonder: Touching Heaven in a Screen Saturated World," by Fr. Christopher J. Seith.

Fr. Christopher Seith grew up in Bowie, MD and attended the University of Maryland before entering seminary for the Archdiocese of Washington.  He was ordained a priest in 2014.  After serving as parochial vicar at Our Lady of Mercy parish in Potomac, MD, he began his doctoral studies at The Catholic University of Amercia, while living at St. John Paul II Seminary.  In the Spring of 2020, he successfully defended his dissertation in which he argued that digital devices, unless they are used in a way contrary to their intended use, will imprison their users within an apathetic and anxious world and damage their ability to joyfully celebrate the sacred mysteries.  In 2022, he published his work as a book, entitled "Rekindling Wonder: Touching Heaven in a Screen Saturated World."  He currently serves as Coordinator of Spiritual Formation at St. John Paul II Seminary in Washington, DC.

Let's get reading so you can join the discussion with Fr. Jack!
