Join Us this Lent as we Read and Discuss "The Devil You Don't Know"

With insight reminiscent of The Screwtape Letters, Rev. Louis J. Cameli challenges readers to reconsider what they've always believed about the devil. In The Devil You Don't Know: Recognizing and Resisting Evil in Everyday Life, Fr. Cameli, nationally renowned pastoral leader and priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago, paints a challenging, unsettling portrait of the devil as a formidable adversary who works great harm, often in quiet, less-seen ways.


While remaining a fixture of popular culture, the devil has—until now—been largely ignored in contemporary spiritual writing. Cameli exposes the devil’s tactics of deception, division, diversion, and discouragement, in individuals and also in institutions. This thoroughly biblical, deft exploration considers the personal and social dimensions of sin, and offers both enlightenment and hope in the power of Christ to overcome evil.


Join us this Lent as we read along together this fascinating and informative look at how to "recognize and resist evil in everyday life."


You may participate in person on Thursdays, at 6pm in the Parish Center or you may read the book at home, and complete the reflection questions in your at home Lenten spiritual journal.
