    The series concludes on Sunday, August 3, at 10:30 a.m. with Mass celebrated at St. Bernadette Church, 9343 S. Francisco, Evergreen Park.  Following the Mass, there will be a theological reflection.  Lunch will be served, and there will be opportunities for socialization and conversation. (There will be no speaker in the evening on August 3.)

    Also, for the first time, free childcare will be offered for children ages 2 and up for young parents who wish to attend the series
