A Message from Billie,
Today, I spoke with Father about the idea of structuring the class with two learning sessions, followed by a third session dedicated to group discussion. This would give us time to break down what we’ve learned, share reflections, and dive deeper into any unanswered questions. The first discussion session will be on January 23rd, and we will provide chili. If everyone would like to bring a dish to share, it could be a meaningful time of fellowship and learning together.
I want to mention the Credo prayer book It introduces catechumens and candidates to the rich tradition of Catholic devotional prayers, offering a representative sampling of the most common vocal prayers used by Catholics. While it was created for new Catholics, it is a wonderful resource for anyone seeking to deepen their prayer life. If anyone is interested in a book let me know, they will be available in February priced at $9.95 per book.
Discussion dates, bring something lite to share on these dates:
01/22 , 02/12 , 03/05 , 03/26 , 04/16 , 05/07 , 05/28 , 06/18 , 07/05 , 07/30 , 08/20 , 09/10 , 10/01 , 10/22 , 11/12 , 12/03
