New Adult Formation Opportunities Now Available!

Discovering Christ

​

This is the first of the three segments of the program, Christ Life. Discovering Christ is open to all (Catholics, Christians of any denomination, nonbelievers) who are asking the deeper questions of life, like “Why am I here? What am I looking for? What does God have to offer me?” Participants meet every Thursday, from 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM, beginning with a meal and socialization, and followed by a presentation on a particular topic, which leads to small group discussion. The first segment involves seven sessions, plus a retreat. To learn more about Christ Life, call Bob or Karen Grasso at 314-9812.

On Christian Prayer

This coming year, we explore the theme of Christian Prayer, the fourth pillar of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The sessions are offered every month, on the third Monday, from 6:30 PM until 8 PM. In every session, we will focus on a particular topic – on October 17: On the Basics of Praying, and on November 21: Successes and Struggles in Praying. The sessions will be led and facilitated by Father Edison. If you have any question, contact Father Edison at fr.edison.tayag@dor.org

Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist

As we begin a three-year Eucharistic Revival, it is good to rediscover and deepen our knowledge and appreciation for Jesus in the Eucharist. Our participation in the celebration of the Eucharist is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. But what does this mean? How can I make the Eucharist my way of life? The course explores the truth and beauty of Christ's real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. The course will be offered in four sessions, held every Tuesday, from 7 PM until 8 PM. To learn more about course, please contact Nerina Bellinger at nbellinger@rochester.rr.com.

Parent-led Catechesis

We acknowledge the important roles that parents and grandparents play in the handing on of the faith to our children and grandchildren. Through this method of catechesis, we empower parents and grandparents through tools needed to effectively share the faith. On our fourth year, we focus on the fourth pillar of the Catechism – on Christian Prayer. For inquiries, please contact Donna DeJoode at 924- 2800.
