About the Virtual Workshop

This online workshop is open to everyone and provided through a ten-part, self-paced video series hosted by Fr. Gallagher. Over the course of the workshop, we’ll explore letters written between Ven. Lanteri and his spiritual directees:

  • Gabriella Solaro della Margarita, a grieving mother to whom he offers spiritual solace
  • Sister Leopolda Mortigliengo, who was discouraged by living a religious life in difficult circumstances
  • Leopoldo Ricasoli, a well-educated and influential layman living all the joys and sorrows of family life

Once you sign up, you’ll begin to receive weekly emails with a video to watch. You’ll also gain access to a workshop page where all 10 lessons can be viewed at any time, as well as a downloadable workshop resource with recommended reading and a self-guided study.
