On May 7, you are invited to join Dr. Christopher West for a 1:00-3:00 pm seminar on the Theology of the Body at the Center for Ministry in Saginaw. Theology of the Body is St. John Paul II's soaring vision of our deepest human identity, exploring God's beautiful plan for authentic love, human sexuality, and the beauty of both the marital and celibate vocations. Dr. West is the author of multiple best-selling books on this subject, as well as being the co-founder of the Theology of the Body Institute.

MADE FOR MORE is an inspired blend of teaching, live music, and art that taps the deepest desires of the human heart revealing their ultimate purpose and goal. 

Want to be inspired by beauty and the wisdom of the Church? 

Join Christopher West and Mike Mangione as they offer a vision of the Gospel like you’ve never heard through the lens of Saint John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.
