Liturgy & Life
Unveiling the Mystical Movement of the Mass
This summer, transform your understanding & participation in the Mass
Hosted by evangelist Matthew Leonard, this unique series of six beautiful presentations is perhaps unlike any other series on the Mass.
Going beyond rites and rubrics, it dives below the surface of the liturgy and explores the breathtaking, mystical realities that unite us to Christ and allow us to participate in the Divine Family of God. It's a series that will transform your understanding and participation in the Mass, as well as provide practical advice for how to prepare for deeper union with God.

This summer, take a deeper look at the “source and summit” of our faith
Bishop Barron brings to light the Blessed Sacrament’s reality as a sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and most importantly, as the real presence of Christ. Each lesson provides detailed commentary on Bishop Barron’s videos and Questions for Understanding based on the video, Scripture, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The Questions for Application aid in connecting the material to our own lives and experiences. This guide is appropriate for individual or group study.We will be offering sessions

Current study
Discover your inheritance this summer...
Join us Wednesdays at 10:30am or 6:30pm
June 3rd – July 22nd
Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul’s writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. In fact, its six short chapters contain some of the most discussed passages in the New Testament. Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance examines many important themes that are still relevant in today’s Christian culture and society—the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the preeminence of grace in God’s plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare.
Presenter Jeff Cavins explores what Paul’s letter to the Ephesians tells us about the nature of the Church—as a body, a household, a mystery, a communion, a bride, and an army. Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance shows the treasures that await us as adopted sons and daughters in the family of God.
