Have you ever wondered what God wants for your life and how to use the specific gifts God has given you? The Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process has been used since 1993 by over 100,000 lay, ordained, and religious Catholics and other Christians around the world. It is designed to help Christians discern the presence of charisms in their lives. Charisms, or spiritual gifts, are special abilities given to all Christians by the Holy Spirit to give them power both to represent Christ and to be a channel of God’s goodness for people.

Fr. Zarse will lead this men’s retreat as he shares how St. Joseph is the go-to guide for men to use as they lead their domestic church! Fr. Calloway explains that St. Joseph is the “increaser.” He has paternal love for you and the power to increase the presence of God in your life and take you to greater heights in the spiritual life. The Church and the world greatly need St. Joseph. We need him to help us return to the love of Jesus and to living lives of virtue. We desperately need St. Joseph’s protection as well. He is our living and merciful spiritual father, holy, strong, and ready to help.

The words, the gestures, and the rituals of the Mass are rich in meaning. Everything we say and do in the Liturgy is steeped in biblical language. A Biblical Walk Through the Mass explores the extraordinary biblical roots of the Liturgy and reveals what it all means and why it all matters. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

The MASH team meet every Tuesday morning from 7:00-7:30am, following 6:30am Mass for coffee and fellowship. They discuss the weekend readings, how they apply to present day, and what God is calling them to do through his Word. The MASH membership consists of approximately 20-25 men who continue to meet each Tuesday morning. They will be meeting in meeting room 3 during our construction. Please join them when you are able – all are welcome!

But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? Acclaimed author and teacher Dr. Brant Pitre digs down to the biblical roots of the Eucharist, through
its foreshadowing in the miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Apostolic teaching.
