In his Apostolic Exhortation, Gaudete et Exsultate (Rejoice and Be Glad), Pope Francis describes five signs of holiness which are particularly important in our culture today.  During this year’s Lenten Speaker Series, we will reflect on how the saints (on the left side of the triumphal arch) are models of these signs for us, encouraging us to a deeper love of God and neighbor in our everyday lives.
