November 7th, 2019—With Anastasia Nicklaus
Though the fourteenth century mystic never studied theology, and never learned how to read or write, her life constitutes a powerful challenge to the flattened-out secularism of our time.
St. Benedict—The Monk
December 5th, 2019—With Fr. Phil Thompson
His insistence that the Gospel should be embodied in communities guided by the sacrifices of poverty, chastity, and obedience unleashed a vigorous spiritual dynamism from which a new civilization would emerge.
St. Thomas Aquinas--The Theologian
February 6th, 2020—With Dcn. Scott Zogg
So called “new atheists” insist that the claims of religion amount to mere superstition. St. Thomas Aquinas anticipated these trends and demonstrated that the life of the mind is integral to life in Christ.
St. Augustine—The Teacher
March 5th, 2020
In an age when people insist upon sharp demarcations between spirituality and religion, or between Christ and the Church, St. Augustine provides a unifying way forward. -
Rejoice! with us this Advent 2019
Advent is a special season for the Church — it is the time when the world prepares to celebrate anew the coming of Christ. Often, we lose sight of the point of this season because we get caught up in our preparations for Christmas and arrive at Christmas no more transformed than we were at the start of Advent.
A way that our parish is seeking to prepare for Jesus’ birth and experience true transformation in this powerful season is by engaging with a new program from Ascension. This program is Rejoice! Advent Meditations with Joseph. We will walk with Joseph as he grapples with the mystery of the Incarnation and prepares to be the earthly father to the Savior of the world.
Each participant will receive a Rejoice! journal, filled with beautiful art and meaningful meditations to accompany him or her throughout the entire Advent season. Rejoice! is an opportunity for our whole community to enter into the season of Advent intentionally and receive the grace God is waiting to give us in this holy season.
Ways to Participate w/ Rejoice! This Advent:
1) Order the Rejoice! journal and join a Grow Group and work through the journal with a small group of people through the parish.
2) Order the Rejoice! journal and do an independent study.
3) Order the Rejoice! and use as a family devotional for Advent.
4) Order the Rejoice! journal and get together with a few friends to discuss your prayer and How God is speaking to you in this season.
As a parish we can offer the book for $5 each! Pay by cash, check or online.
Order your book and/or register for a Advent Grow Group today!
Rejoice! Advent Reading Plan
Create Community. Accompany Others.Grow as Disciples.
What are GrowGroups?Looking to grow faith and friendship beyond Alpha, CEW or another great experience? Consider GrowGroups. You weren't meant to do life alone. Once we encounter Jesus, we are then called to grow daily as his disciples. To follow Jesus is to commit to lifelong learning and growth. Like Jesus’ disciples, our walk with the Lord today is not one lived in isolation but rather one immersed in community and enriched by authentic friendship with others. In homes and in the company of friends, Grow Groups provide a place of deep transformation where people can be known, loved, and cared for as they strive to deepen their friendship with Jesus and one another.
For more information about Grow Groups or being a facilitator contact: Trish Lokmer, Director of Faith Formation, tlokmer@seasp.org or 393-3778 x104 -
