Women's Open Study Circle "Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist" 8-Part Series

Each month, we’ll watch a video together and engage in meaningful discussions with questions we’ve prepared. These sessions offer not just an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Eucharist but also a chance to connect and share with fellow women of faith.We are excited to announce the start of our new Open Study Circle, beginning on Monday, October 28, 2024. As we journey through this Eucharistic revival, we will explore the richness of the Eucharist in a special way this year. Our sessions will be a blend of the Formed program “Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist”, along with powerful talks from the 2024 National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, USA.

“Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the "source and summit" of the Christian life. Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist 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. It is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation.” The 11th National Eucharistic Congress

We will also be sharing some light refreshments in the first and last sessions.
