Teaching the Catholic Faith From Parables 7:00-8:30 p.m.
Jesus taught morality (how to act) and revelation (who God is) through parables. Parables are stories that teach. If we know and understand the parables, we can understand and know what Jesus taught. These presentations will allow you to know the key parables, understand what Jesus was teaching, and apply them to your daily life.
- July 6th or July 7th (Wednesday/Thursday, Same presentation both nights)

A Morning with Saint Benedict – Saturday, June 11, 9-Noon
We will look at this 6th-century saint and at his rule that he created. How can we live a more balanced Christian life between work and prayer? What can this 6th-century Rule teach us today?
The morning will begin with Mass and then reflect on the Rule of Saint Benedict and his life and method of prayer.
A Morning with the Blessed Sacrament – Saturday, July 9, 9-Noon
We as Catholics realize the ‘source and summit’ of our Faith is the Eucharist, but how did we come to this conclusion? What is a Eucharistic Holy Hour? What do we do during such an hour?
The morning will begin with Mass and then reflect on the Eucharist with time for Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction.
A Morning with the Lord’s Prayer – Saturday, August 6, 9-Noon
We pray this prayer daily. What is its meaning? Significance? Is it just an old prayer that we recite without meaning? How can we dive deeper into the prayer?
The morning will begin with Mass and then reflect on the Lord’s Prayer from Saint Matthew’s Gospel.
