Once we have received the one time Sacraments of Initiation, how are we to keep living in this state of Sacrament Grace? With the assistance of regular reception of the Sacraments of Healing. This class will talk about the importance of these Sacraments, what they are, their Biblical foundations, and how they strengthen us toward our path to Holiness!

With this final Retreat session, Matt pulls together the lessons of the previous three by using the Lord's prayer as a model for all prayer. Answering the particular question: how do we make the Our Father come alive and more relevant in our lives?

The first session was all about inserting ourselves into the mystery of God. The second session was all about allowing the mystery of God to come into our own soul. This third session is about the spiritual relationship with God, how to and what it means to pray with the “Body of Christ”.

The first session was all about inserting ourselves in the mystery of God. This session is all about enabling the mystery of God to be inserted into our hearts by creating space for God with the help of discernment techniques.

The Prayer Retreat is broken up into four sessions, all about addressing the prayer pillars found in the Catechism, with an aim to go deeper in prayer, to find a way to tap into the deep spiritual traditions of the Catholic Church.

We are all called to love the highest calling of love is fruitful. This class talks bout the paternal/maternal aspects of both vocations and explaining how every single human being is called to be a mother or father and what that means for people who simply love single lives.

Lent is upon us and in the wake of Fat Tuesday (or Mardi Gras in French) we will talk about how lent was the time meant particularly for those preparing to enter the Church. Following that, we begin the journey of discussing the Sacraments that you all will receive in one way or another at the end of Lent: Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Communion. We will talk about what makes them Sacraments of Initiation and how they differ from other sacraments.

What is a Sacrament and how does it differ from many Christian demoniyatios? How do Sacraments change they we live our lives? This section is about how we insert ourselves in the story of God’s love that we just learned about in the Creed.

There is no better way to understand the sacraments than by unpacking the Sacrament of Marriage. It is here that we learn the true destining of our humanity! It is here that we truly witness the romance of God’s love for His Children! Outside of Salvation History, this may be one of the most important classes to be present at.

As we approach the end of the Creed, we now deal with the last parts of life on earth as a Catholic. What happens after death? What roles does the body have in the afterlife? How are we judged? Why are we judged twice (did you know that?)? Is Hell real and why would a loving God “create” Hell?

The Church gives the highest form of veneration to Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ. Why? What is veneration? Does veneration mean “worship”? What’s with all the crazy beliefs about Mary’s sinlessness and perpetual virginity? This topic is a loaded one for our non-Catholic Christian brothers and sisters so there is a lot to talk about here.
