Prepare Your Heart with Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR

This Advent, we will take a three-session journey to prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. Through the Prepare Your Heart video series, we will explore how to recognize God's presence in our everyday lives, put our faith into action, and respond to His call with trust.

Our journey will follow three simple steps: SEE – ACT – SAY YES.

We will watch the videos together at Men's Prayer Breakfast (MPB). Please complete the Scripture readings in advance to get more out of the videos and our table discussions.

Next Up: January 6 - January 27, 2027

Starting January 6th, we will begin a 4 wk study of "The Sacrements", using the USCCB Catechism for Adults.  This is not the paragraph reference Catechism you likely own. It is story based, using the lives of the Saints and others to teach the faith through example.

The USCCB provides a free online version.  If you want to use that version, a link will be provided in each "Weekly Dose" for the chapter we will be reading.
