Too Close to the Flame
Presented by Joe Ingle
Join us for an unforgettable talk by Joe Ingle, whose decades-long advocacy for justice has taken him to the heart of Southern death rows. A passionate opponent of the death penalty, Ingle has devoted his life to offering spiritual companionship to those on deathwatch and fighting tirelessly against the injustices of a system that dehumanizes society’s most marginalized. This presentation, based on his recent memoir, Too Close to the Flame, reflects on his years of radical Christian love, grappling with the personal toll of accompanying condemned friends through their final hours.

All parishioners are welcome to attend our thought-provoking Sunday morning adult education series as we explore the topic of mass incarceration and its impact on individuals, families, and society. Through a series of talks led by experts in the field, we will examine the criminal justice system from a Catholic perspective, focusing on justice, mercy, and human dignity. This series will offer insights into the systemic issues surrounding mass incarceration and provide a space for reflection and discussion on how we, as a faith community, can support reform and restorative justice.
