Connections, a St. Theresa Women’s Fellowship Ministry, meets on Tuesday nights during the school year from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Family Center. The 2017/2018 curriculum features small group study programs geared for enriching our faith life, as well as enthralling guest speakers and opportunities for prayer and fellowship.
We are very excited to start our next study March 6, 2018: Pondering the Holy Eucharist. What a great way to end our year together! If you haven't been in awhile this is a great time to jump in for the last 7 weeks of the year. Invite a friend to join us for this inspirational study. Each participant will receive a study guide (a $15 donation is appreciated to cover printing costs if you are able). The study guide will be yours so that you can keep up with the study if you have to miss a week or two.
In this 7 week bible study we will:
1) Delve into the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist as understood, taught and practiced in the Catholic Church.
2) Develop a deeper appreciation of the Real Presence of Christ in Holy Communion.
3) See the beauty of God's Love for you and our love for Him, in our relationship, as expressed in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
4) Allow the Holy Spirit to inspire and guide you to tell others of the greatest Gift of God through the Church.
5) Become familiar with referring to the Scripture and The Catechism of the Catholic Church in learning about the faith.
Previously Offered this Year:
We started the year learning about the transformative message of the miraculous appearance of Mary by renowned Catholic speaker and author Fr. Gaitley, MIC, during this 100-year Anniversary of the Apparitions at Fatima.
Fr. Gaitley, MIC, then led us on a extraordinary 33-day journey to Marian consecration in the study program “33 Days to Morning Glory” through the teachings of four giants of Marian spirituality, St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and Pope St. John Paul II.
As Romans 8:26 reads, “The Holy Spirit intercedes for us…when we don’t know what we should pray for”. The Wild Goose (as the ancient Celts called the Holy Spirit) study program will help us discover a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit, awakening in our hearts God’s love and transformative power.
Learning how to speak the truth is important in today’s age of relativism. Edward Sri helped us understand the classical view of morality and how to share Catholic morality of love in the Who Am I To Judge? study program.
In Forgiven: The Transforming Power of Confession we see how this sacrament is where we deeply encounter the great gift of God’s mercy.
