Apostle to the Apostles
Mary Magdalene has been portrayed variously in scripture, tradition, Church teaching, legend, and popular imagination for all of Christian history. In this retreat, we will meet her in these sources and in our own reflection and prayer drawing on sources as diverse as movies, papal documents, contemporary scholarship, and other studies.
