BREVARD — Three events in September provided opportunities for Catholics in the Brevard area to learn and grow spiritually.
First, Nick Haskell of the Asheville Catholic Charities office presented a program on the U.S. bishops’ document “Faithful Citizenship.” Second, there was an all-day “Life in the Spirit” workshop attended by parishioners from Sacred Heart, Immaculate Conception and St. Margaret of Scotland churches.
Third, there was the four-day visit of Dr. Amy-Jill Levine to Brevard. Dr. Levine is an international known Biblical scholar.
Each of her presentations to overflow audiences covered different topics from the story of David and Bathsheba to “How Jews and Christians view Jesus differently.” Her visit was sponsored by Koinonia of Brevard and Brevard College.

CLEMMONS — The Hispanic Ministry of Holy Family Church in Clemmons celebrated a Missionary Rosary on Oct. 21.
Five families prayed the sorrowful mysteries and they wore colors that represented each continent: green for Africa, red for America, white for Europe, blue for Oceania and yellow for Asia.
