SUMMARY:Coached by the Curé
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to a talk by Kevin Wells on his latest book\, Coached by the Curé: Lessons in Shepherding with St. John Vianney\, on Thursday\, November 20 at 6:00 PM EST. This program will be offered both in-person and virtually through a livestream. \nAbout the Book: \nIn this imaginative “letter from Heaven”\, the heartfelt voice of the Curé coaches today’s parents and laity on how to save their lost lambs in these modern days of moral collapse. At an hour when the consciences of Catholic youth and young adults are hourly invaded by a modernist secular culture – and so few clergy are regarded as their rescuers – St. John Vianney emerges  in this book as a titan and rescuer of souls. \nCoached by the Curé captivates readers from the start\, when a gathering of priest-saints from the heavenly court begin to discuss the state of a wounded worldwide presbyterate. After the raw diagnosis\, the humble Curé is given a new name by God. He is told he is no longer “The Patron Saint of Parish Priests”\, but now\, “The Patron Saint of the Domestic Home.” It is the humble Curé’s task to instruct parents – not the many modern priests who’ve rejected him – how to become the domestic priests in their homes. His letter from heaven – aided by his muse\, the martyr St. Philomena – has been written for a single reason: to bring the millions of wandering souls back to grace. Through his holy life in Ars\, Vianney shows parents how they can save their lost ones through the manner in which he brought an entire guillotine-haunted nation back to the Catholic faith. \nWe learn why Vianney turned himself over to poor sinners: He understood  he was the shepherd of their souls. Coached by the Curé is a loving dialogue between the travailed reader and the heart of a saint – a saving martyr who sacrificed all for the sake of even one single soul. Herein\, Vianney coaches his  saintly characteristics into modern man\, so that we can all  learn the self-offering and self-giving needed to protect and save our lost loved ones. \nCoached by the Cure is available for purchase at the CIC bookstore. \n11/20 Schedule: \n\n5:40 PM: Doors open for registrant check-in\n6:00 PM: Kevin Wells on “Coached by the Curé” (This portion will be offered both in-person and virtually through a YouTube livestream)\n7:00 PM: Book signing by Kevin Wells and a light happy hour\n8:00 PM: Evening concludes\n\nPlease RSVP today!
