The great sacraments of the Church—Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Reconciliation, the Anointing of the Sick, Matrimony, and Holy Orders—have endured for thousands of years and structured countless lives. Everything in the Church’s life comes from and returns to them.
But there is far more to these ancient rites than meets the eye.

Women’s Wednesday Morning

The Bible and the Virgin Mary

Wednesday mornings: Begins September 8
10:00 to 11:15 am in the Parish Hall
Facilitator: Cindy McKenna
For information and questions: cindybmckenna@gmail.com

The Bible and the Virgin Mary, part of the St. Paul Center’s Journey Through Scripture series, unveils the mystery of Our Lady that is woven into the fabric of Sacred Scripture. Twelve visually stunning lessons convey the beauty of the doctrine and devotions surrounding Mary, bringing them to life in a powerful, new way.
Based on Scott Hahn’s Hail, Holy Queen and presented by dynamic speaker Matthew Leonard, this study has something for everyone from the newly confirmed to the fully engaged cradle Catholic.

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
