General Announcements
‘Mary’s Treasures’ one-person play set for Sept. 1 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church
The one-person play “Mary’s Treasures” will be presented at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, 5692 Central Ave., in Indianapolis, at 7 p.m. on Sept. 1.
Catholic storyteller Sandra Hartlieb portrays Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as she recalls the amazing events of her life. As she reminisces, Mary unpacks a trunk of treasured objects. In sharing the objects, Mary recalls her remarkable Son—what his life meant to her, and the lessons she learned by treasuring the precious moments of her life with Jesus.
Following the monologue, Hartlieb invites the audience to a conversation, exploring what Mary teaches us and how everyone can find faith, hope and courage among their own treasures.
All are invited to this free event, and to bring a treasured object that represents their own spiritual journey.
For more information, call 317-257-2266 or e-mail ueble@ihmindy.org.
