Saints Are Present in Every Age

August 7, 2026 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm PDT

St. John of the Cross and Padre Pio

Join us once again as we gather for stories of the saints at the Ananda Lynnwood Community in August 2026.

We will spend time with St John of the Cross (1542-1591) /Spain and Padre Pio (1887-1968) Italy/ whose victorious lives and deep spiritual wisdom brought many to lives their lives with God.

St John of the Cross joined Teresa of Avila in her campaign to reform the church. His poetry carried messages of ecstasy. Padre Pio carried the signs of Christ’s crucifixion on his body; kept them hidden that he might minister to his flock for whom he worked tirelessly and established an intimate inner life with Christ.

Join us for Friday night’s dinner in Masters Kitchen at 6:00pm $8.

Stay for the class outside in the courtyard at 7:00pm.

Teacher: Nayaswami Jamuna

Cost: donation offering at the time of class
