Real Presence Retreat
Saturday, October 31
8:00am-4:00pm
Location: Sacred Heart, Meeting Rooms 1 & 2
No fee
Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life. 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. Join us for this one day retreat and discover the powerful way that God is present to us in the Eucharist, and is inviting us into an intimate union with himself!
Who is this retreat for? All parishioners wanting to grow in appreciation and knowledge of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Breakfast and lunch included!
