Deacon Ken would like to invite you to a 7-week series he calls, Catholics Awakened.
As you may know, Deacon Ken, at one point, considered himself to be an atheist. His awakening brought him such great peace in his life. In this series you will learn his story but more importantly this series is intended to help you seriously evaluate your own faith relationship and to get to know not only what the Church teaches but, maybe more importantly, why. Many subject, theological, historical, spiritual and controversial will be candidly discussed.
No matter your levels of understanding of the faith, your involvement with the Church, or even if you have fallen away from the Church, we invite you to awaken your knowledge and love for Catholicism.

Week 1 – An overview of the series, introductions, an honest look at where we stand with our
faith, and misconceptions about being Catholic
Week 2 – God waits for you! Why we lose our faith and what causes us to search again
Week 3 – Sin, forgiveness and reconciliation and how to deal with the dreaded “Confession”
Week 4 – A discussion of what’s new in the Church (Vatican II) and a change of perspective
Week 5 – What many Catholics believe and what they “should” believe
Week 6 – How to enjoy the Mass by improving your understanding; (plus, a behind-the-scenes
tour of our facility if this is an in-person series)
Week 7 – Myths and facts of our faith and (if time permits) Interesting Facts of the Bible

On Wednesday, September 16, 2020 we begin a new year of That Man is You (TMIY) at St. Jude.  This year is entitled “All Things New”.  Journeying into the splendor of the Church exposes new depths of Catholic spirituality and devotion. The profundity of the Scriptures sets the stage for renewal of mind and heart - a new creation story, a new Adam, a new Eve, a new covenant and even a new kingdom! Prepare for the practical, the precise, the profound, and even the prophetic!

This past year has brought many new things to us and as a result, the program will be a “Virtual” TMIY program. The group will meet promptly at 6:30 am each Wednesday morning. We will view the video session together and afterwards there will be small breakout group discussions on each session’s content, which will include the teachings of the church and saints. 
The St. Jude TMIY group meets weekly on Wednesday mornings 6:30am – 7:50am via Zoom. If you are new to TMIY, please contact TMIY@stjudeparish.com to register for the weekly emails and to receive the meeting invite.
