John the Maverick -
An Adullt Faith Formation Series

Of the four evangelists, John portrays the most distinct view of Christ. John's portrayal of Christ is so distinct that scholars have come to call John's Gospel "the Maverick Gospel" because it stands well apart from its Synoptic counterparts. Yet, what this Gospel reveals about the person of Jesus Christ has profound implications for our own faith in Him.

What are these implications? What is the relationship between John and the Synoptic Gospels? How do we reconcile the different views portrayed between them? What makes John's portrait of Jesus so unique that he has been deemed a "Maverick?" What were the circumstances behind the origin and historical background of the Fourth Gospel that led to this "maverick" point of view?

John "The Maverick" is a FREE adult faith formation seminar that will immerse participants into the life of the Johannine community as it explores the distinct views, purpose, origin, and historical background of the Fourth Gospel, and its relationship to the Synoptic Gospels. Participants will come away from the course with a deeper appreciation for the uniqueness of John's Gospel and a greater understanding of the implications the Fourth Gospel has for our faith in Jesus as Savior, Lord, and God.

Thursdays in Lent (February 23, March 1, 8, 22, & 29); 7:00 - 9:00 PM, St. Richard's School Hall, 19th & Pollock Sts. For more information contact Dennis M. Mueller at 215-468-4777.

School Alumni Directory

Attention Alumni of St. Richard School! The Home and School Association of St. Richard School is in the process of compiling an alumni directory for graduates of St. Richard grade school. The directory will enable us to share special events, news, and happenings at St. Richard School with our alumni and give our alumni a chance to share their news and successes with us. The Directory will also serve as a great networking resource for alumni as well as allow alumni to reconnect with former classmates. If you're a former graduate of St. Richard School complete the online information form here.

Our hope is to create and Alumni webpage as part of our school website, which is currently under development, but should be up and running this fall. This will give us plenty of time to compile the directory. We'll be sure to keep you posted with regular updates as we continue to work on this project. Stay tuned!
