Easter Hope – You will Be Changed Into Me: The Fruits of the Eucharist
April 26 @ 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
- This event has passed.
This is a catechist mission to celebrate the Jubilee Year as we explore in this workshop the spiritual fruits of the Eucharist, recognizing its transformative power in our lives. Participants will reflect on the call to be “changed into Me,” as Christ’s Eucharistic presence invites us to take on His mission and character. Reflect on the idea of becoming more like Christ, living a life of humility, service, and love.
We will celebrate the life of Pope Francis by praying with him and for him on the day of his funeral. We will meditate on Pope Francis messages of Hope and Resurrection; we are Pilgrims of Hope on this earth.
We will end our day with the Blessed Sacrament Exposition and Benediction by Fr. Ricky from Holy Family Church.
