Join Saint John\u2019s School of Theology and Seminary in prayer and reflection this Lenten season by following along with our Lenten Reflection Series.

SOT\/Sem\u00a0Adjunct\u00a0Professor of Theology, S. Carmel Posa, CSC, invites us to contemplate our participation in the Transfigured Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
