They died where?

Have you ever wondered where the Apostles died?  The folks at Geographic Travels have put together the map for you.

I'm curious

Does anybody know if there is a significant difference in the version of Pope Benedict XVI’s The Apostles as published by Our Sunday Visitor and Ignatius Press?

I know that OSV’s version is subtitled The Origins of the Church and their Co-Workers while Ignatius’ version is subtitled Jesus, the Apostles, and the Early Church. Beyond this, what is the difference?

Classes on the Apostles

St. Anthony of Padua Parish will host a series of classes on the Twelve Apostles taught by the Rev. Daren J. Zehnle, Parochial Vicar of St. Anthony of Padua parish.

The classes will be held from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the parish center of St. Anthony of Padua parish on the following dates:

• August 13th
• September 10th
• October 8th
• November 5th
• December 10th
• January 14th
• February 11th
• March 10th
• April 14th
• May 12th

The classes are free to all who attend and attendance is not required at all of the meetings; participants are free to come and go as they may.

The forthcoming book, The Apostles: The Origin of the Church and Their Co-workers, by Pope Benedict XVI (Huntington, IN: Our Sunday Visitor, 2007, $14.95 [available July 26th]) from which the classes will be taken, is highly recommended, though not required.

Another book by Benedict

The Holy Father's Wednesday Audience Addresses on the Apostles will be published soon. This, and more, via Amy.

If you haven't yet read these addresses, shame on you!

Within each address Pope Benedict XVI offers a brief biographical sketch of the Apostles and proposes several things we can learn from the example of their lives. Each of these addresses is both educational and highly spiritual.
