Lenten Opportunity from the Catholic Identity Committee
For most Catholic adults, the Mass is a most familiar part of the Faith. But, that familiarity can prevent us from appreciation of and reflection on the “source and summit” of our faith life. "The Mass, led by Bishop Robert Barron, beautifully explains the Mass in detail: what we do, why, and the significance it has in our lives. It’s a long, complex prayer. Every movement, gesture, & response is Biblical, and/or traditional, and it all has meaning. As Catholic adults, we may not know the significance of all the details.
The Catholic Identity Committee of the SFX School Advisory Board will present this 6-episode series over three Monday nights in March.
Join us on March 9, 16, and 30th from 7:00pm-9:00pm in Unity Hall for DVD presentation and discussion.
Please RSVP to Katie Kanzer k.f.kanzer@gmail.com or Katy Newcomb katynewcomb@hotmail.com. Walk-ins are welcome---bring a friend!
