This month we will be discussing, Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation: Balancing Mercy and Justice through the Teachings of Christ

Join us for a thoughtful and compassionate book study with author and St. Thomas More parishioner, Charisse Rubio, for those wrestling with the difficult call to forgive after deep hurt or betrayal. Rooted in the teaching of Christ and the wisdom of the Church, this book offers clarity where confusion often reigns. It gently affirms that forgiveness is a personal act of mercy — one that frees the heart from bitterness and opens the way to healing — while also acknowledging that reconciliation is an act of justice that requires mutual effort, restored trust, and at times, clear boundaries. All are welcome, especially those seeking freedom, healing, and peace amid complex or unresolved relationships.
