A Powerful Study on the Life of Jesus Christ

The marvelous treasures of the Catholic Faith—the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, and the Creed—are all centered on a single figure: Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a historical or theological figure. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, our Lord, and our God. While many of us already know a lot about him, how well can we say we really know him? Filmed on location in the Holy Land, Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a new and fresh look at Jesus—who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, and what he did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower you to center your entire life on him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way.

The Study set for this class is $29.95 and can be ordered using this link: Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life Study Set – Ascension (ascensionpress.com)

The Search hosted by Chris Stefanick

Two options for participating:

• Wednesday evenings at 7 pm via Zoom (February 10 to March 31 (NO class on March 17 due to our Parish Mission)
• Thursday mornings at 10 am in-person (February 11 to March 25.)

What is this journey in between the event we call 'birth' and the one we call 'death'?  Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination - a destination that could extend beyond your last breath?  What do you want from your life during the in-between?  The questions are there and, the answers are, too. 

The Search, hosted by Chris Stefanick, explores the deepest questions of the human heart - Why am I here? What's life all about?  What happens when we die? - and guides you through the great big story of everything as astrophysicists, psychologists, neuroscientists, artists, chemists, and professors point to one big (surprising) conclusion:  Jesus Christ, and the Catholic Church.  

An episode will be shown each week as part of the study.  
Episode 1 - What Do You Seek?
Episode 2 - Who Are You?
Episode 3 - Why a God?
Episode 4 - What's Our Story?
Episode 5 - Who Is Jesus?
Episode 6 - Am I Saved?
Episode 7 - Why a Church?

Dates:

• Zoom: February 10 to March 31 (NO class on March 17 due to our Parish Mission). 
• In-person: February 11 to March 25.

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.
