Year 2008-9

The speakers at St. Joan of Arc are often challenging and thought provoking. The website has received numerous requests for text versions of Sunday presentations. Despite the fact that we offer audio versions on our highlights page, sometimes it is helpful to read and re-read passages of the presentation. Not all speakers work from a text version and some are just outlines. However, we offer here the presentations we have received for your perusal.
