Jesuit To Lead Roswell Advent Parish Mission

ATLANTA - Jesuit Father Tom Radloff will lead an Advent Parish Mission on spiritual growth and reconciliation with God on the weekend of Dec. 6-8 at St. Peter Chanel Church, Roswell.

An Ohioan, he was ordained a priest in 1961 and since then has served as a high school teacher, student counselor, campus minister and school administrator for over 27 years. He has been an occasional retreat master for high school students, laity, seminarians, Religious and priests for 42 years, and a Michigan state certified marriage and family counselor for 27 years. He is currently the associated vicar for priests for internal forum in the Diocese of Toledo, Ohio.

In his homilies during Masses he will address an awareness of the ways in which God enters lives and becomes present to people; awareness of how the faithful tend to keep God at arm's length and how sin contributes to that distance; and ways persons can bring reconciliation in their relationship with God and neighbor. The Friday Mass will be a healing service. For more information on the times Father Radloff will speak, call the church at (678) 277-9424. St. Peter Chanel is located at 11330 Woodstock Road.
