Communion Minister Formation

We are in need of more Communion Ministers, especially for 4 p.m. and 8 a.m. Masses. If you are interested in serving the parish as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion there is a training session coming up on Wednesday, July 15 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. at St. Raphael. This session also works for those who are already serving in this role, but need an update to renew their mandate. Topics covered will include the Theology of the Eucharist, Liturgical Ministry and Practical Aspects of the Role of the Communion Minister. There is no charge to attend, but registration is requested. Please contact the Office of Worship, 636-0296 or register online.

Women's Bible Study

The Gospel of Luke takes you on a journey that begins with the foretelling of John the Baptist’s birth and culminates in Jesus’ ascension into heaven. Along the way, you will witness key moments in salvation history, including the Annunciation; the Nativity; Jesus' baptism; his public ministry; the Last Supper; and Jesus’ suffering, death, and glorious Resurrection. The Gospel’s powerful prose and beautiful details will deepen your desire to draw closer to Jesus and be transformed by his teachings.

The Gospel of Luke continually reveals how Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. With Luke: The Story of Salvation Fulfilled, you will experience joy as you see how God has been faithful throughout the ages and how God’s promise can guide you in your everyday lives.
