Women's Bible Study
St. Peter is both inspiring and confounding to many of us. How could a stubborn and impulsive fisherman become the “rock” upon which Jesus would build his Church? In Lectio: Peter Dr. Tim Gray gives a fresh perspective that is informative and relevant.
Join us to watch the series and discover how God can bring out our best, too!
Tuesdays, September 6- November 15
7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m
Parish Life Center
RSVP no later than August 8 to ensure a study guide is ordered for you. RSVP to dkshea01@hotmail.com. For more information contact Debbie Shearn at dkshea01@hotmail.com
This Week on Formed
“The Lamb of God,” “The Bread of Life,” “The Body and the Blood of Christ”... these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? We’ll discover firsthand how Christ’s Body and Blood are an integral and wondrous part of God’s plan for our salvation.
This is a great way to kickoff the Eucharistic Revival! Sponsored by the U.S. bishops, the revival aims to inspire people to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist.
