Join us as we begin this study of Theology of the Body, starting June 28th. Help your children learn who they are, begin to see themselves and others as gifts, and grow their own roots and wings in God’s perfect plan. Please note, because the series builds on itself, the first part is required for participation in parts 2 and 3. Listed below is a brief description of each part of the series, and the dates it will be offered.
ToB Part 1 - Register HERE
“The Resurrection: Identity and Gift” (Series Part 1) - June 28-July 26, 2022 from 7:00-9:00 pm. In “The Resurrection: Identity and Gift”, you and your child(ren)will be able to understand what it means to be made in God’s image. This fundamental Christian Anthropology is crucial because who we are informs how we act in our day to day lives and that helps us decide where we are going (vocational discernment).
"Freedom and Virtue" (Series Part 2) - September 24-October 29, 2022 from 9:00-11:00 am (excluding Saturday, October 22) - In "Freedom and Virtue" we will study how we act,, why we are called to greatness, and how suffering can be a gift.
"Vocation and Community" (Series Part 3) - January 21-February 25, 2022 from 9:00-11:00 am (excluding Saturday, February 18) - In "Vocation and Community" we will study our call to vocation and how we are called to love.
