Walking with Mary: A Biblical Journey from Nazareth to the Cross
This presentation is for anyone who wants to know Mary better – the real, human Mary of the Bible and the profound interior journey of faith she made throughout her life. We will walk with Mary step-by-step from Nazareth to the Cross and consider how she faced moments of joy and thanksgiving, moments of uncertainty and discernment as well as moments of trial and darkness. And yet at every critical point she responded with greater trust and surrender in ways that offer many practical insights for our own paths of Christian discipleship today.
Love Unveiled: Re-Discovering the Heart of Our Catholic Faith
This presentation engages the challenges faced from the secular culture:
Why do I need a Church? Can’t I be spiritual on my own?
Isn’t one religion just as good as another?
Isn’t each person free to make up his own morality?
Why does the Church talk so much about human life, sex and marriage? Shouldn’t we just be tolerant and get along with everyone?
Divine love is the very heart of the Catholic faith—the one thing that makes sense of everything we believe and do. In an age of relativism and apathy, discover how all the pieces of our Catholic faith, even some of the most baffling ones, fit together to make one beautiful mosaic of God’s love for us. And learn how to practically live more deeply in His love, radiating it in our families, our parishes, and the world.
The two walks on Monday, March 14th will be:
A Biblical Walk through the Mass: Understanding what we Say and Do in the Liturgy
Do you ever wish you could get more out of Mass? Discover how all the prayers, symbols, and rituals in the liturgy can come alive for us today once we understand their Biblical roots. From the sign of the cross and the Gloria to the Eucharistic prayers and Holy Communion, join us for a Biblical tour of the Mass and learn the profound meaning of what we are really saying and doing each week as we participate in these sacred mysteries.

Marriage: The Good, the Messy and the Beautiful
It’s easy to fall in love. Growing in love isn’t always so easy. A great marriage isn’t one that simply stays together, it's one that flourishes with time.
