BOOKSIGNING with PATRICK MURPHY Small Business Saturday, November 25, 2023 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. 6759 Chippewa St. | St. Louis, MO 63109 Places to Pray takes readers to Catholic churches, shrines, convents, and monasteries throughout Missouri where readers will explore the architectural marvels of the cathedrals of St. Louis and Kansas City and visit neighborhood parishes that proudly hold on to the ethnic flavors of their founders. There’s a story of a shrine built from thousands of stones by a monk who died at his task. Cloistered sisters committed to lives of prayer and silence open their doors to us and monks at a Trappist Monastery in the Ozarks show off their world-famous fruitcakes. Also included are chapters on topics unique to Catholicism which are often misunderstood, even by Catholics: the veneration of Mary and the saints, the Rosary, holy relics, Stations of the Cross, Imaginative Prayer, Eucharistic Adoration, the Infant of Prague, and miracles. Places to Pray is intended for readers of all faiths and walks of life who are tempted to venture into some of these places to experience realms beyond those offered by daily life. This event is free and open to the public. Books for signing will be available for purchase.
