Five consecutive Monday evenings, 7:30-8:30 pm,
Beginning September 27 until October 25th

Archbishop Schnurr has challenged us in our Beacons of Light Pastoral Planning Process to welcome people back to the Mass which, as Vatican II teaches, is the “source and summit” of our Catholic identity.

Join Fr. Tom as he leads a 5-week Zoom-based Online Faith Formation Course on Bishop Robert Barron’s beautiful new book, Eucharist.

Recent studies make painfully clear that for many Catholics today, the Eucharist is merely a symbol of Christ, and the Mass is functionally a social gathering.  This course proposes that what is made present on Catholic altars--- and what the faithful say “yes” to in receiving this “bread for the journey” -- is far more beautiful and life-changing than that!

Through reflection on the Oscar-award-winning film Babette’s Feast and a deep dive into the classic Catholic doctrines of the Eucharist as sacred meal, sacrifice, and real presence, Fr. Tom and Bishop Barron will equip you to respond more deeply to our Lord’s loving invitation to all persons to discover that “only He has 'the words of eternal life' and that to receive in faith the gift of his Eucharist is to receive the Lord himself."
--Catechism of the Catholic Church 1336.
 

• Please invite family, friends and neighbors who may have fallen away from the practice of the Catholic faith!

• All copies of the Eucharist by Bishop Barron, available at the parish offices, have been sold out. If you would like to purchase a copy of the book still, we encourage you to do so through supporting a local bookseller or wherever you normally purchase books - including through Word on Fire (Bishop Barron's Apostolate/Publisher).
