Summer Reading Discussion

Join friends and neighbors from The Church of the Holy Trinity and The Parish of St. Monica, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, St. Stephen of Hungary as we explore the book We Need No Wings by Ann Dávila Cardinal.

This unusual, heart-warming, and funny story follows a 60-year-old woman who, after the sudden death of her husband, has to figure out how to move forward. And she can't stop levitating. After being reminded of her ancestor, St. Teresa of Avila (who also levitated), she travels to Spain to look for answers.
