Advent Meditations with Fulton Sheen
Tuesdays, December 3, 10 and 17 from 12:00-1:00pm in the Manning Adult Center.
Drawn from Archbishop (soon to be Saint) Fulton Sheen's best-selling books, these 28 spiritual reflections provide an inspirational daily meditation for each day of Advent. Select quotes are paired with Scriptures on the themes of patience, waiting,
gift, hope, humility, joy—and much more. Join us these first three Tuesdays in December as we read from Scripture and reflect upon Archbishop Sheen's words.
Booklets cost only $2.00 each.
Cookies and drink provided. Bring a sack lunch if you prefer. -

Upcoming Small Group Studies for Adults of All Ages
"Advent: Season of Divine Encounter." 3 sessions only!
Part of the new "Alive in the Word" short series from Lttle Rock Scripture Studies. Advent means arrival or coming. During this sacred season, we actively recall the arrival of Jesus as the Word made flesh, and we joyfully await his final return at the end of the age. But as we remember the past and anticipate the future, we are also attentive to our divine encounters in the present, the ways God "arrives" in our everyday lives. Amy Ekeh's Advent, Season of Divine Encounter helps us look closely at three key Scripture passages to recall, recognize, and anticipate the ways God comes into our lives and our world.
Wednesday, Dec. 4, 11 and 18 in parish library, immediately after the 5:30pm Mass (from 6:15-7:30pm).
________________________________________________________________________Starting Wednesday, January 15th, 2020: "The Eucharist" -- a five-session study.
Too many Christians do not understand the mystery of the Eucharist which Vatican II said is the "source and summit of the Christian life." This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred mel, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and the real presence of Christ.- This study is FREE but seating is limited in the Library to 15 people. Register early!
