PLAN AHEAD FOR LENT
A couple of small groups already meeting are starting up again and you are welcome to join us:

METANOIA: A Journey With Christ Into Conversion
Mondays 1-2pm St Bruno January 17-April 4 

METANOIA - and believe in the Gospel. In the Gospel of Mark, the first words of Jesus are an invitation to metanoia, to repent, to change, to be converted. This series is beautifully filmed on location in the Holy Land, highlighting sacred places such as the Sea of Galilee, the River Jordan, the desert of Temptations, and many of the holy sites in Jerusalem.

Each of the 10 episodes explores areas of our life where conversion is so often necessary. Metanoia will examine topics such as who is Jesus, what must we do to inherit eternal life, and many other significant matters of faith. With preaching from Fr. Dave as well as personal testimonies from men and women, young and old, religious and lay, their stories will inspire you to seek to encounter Jesus and the new life he is constantly inviting us to. 


THE CHOSEN
Thursdays 9:30-10:45am St Paul January 13-May 5 

The Chosen is a television drama based on the life of Jesus of Nazareth, created, directed and co-written by American filmmaker Dallas Jenkins. It is the first multi-season series about the life of Jesus, and season one was the top crowd-funded TV series or film project of all time. The series' creators stated that they had hoped to distinguish the new series from previous portrayals of Jesus by crafting a multi-season, episode-based story. The series portrays Jesus "through the eyes of those who met him".

The show has used innovative methods to finance its production and stream the series. The show is financed via crowdfunding; the show is free to watch and viewers are asked to "pay it forward" by contributing whatever amount they wish to fund future seasons. As of 2021, viewers had contributed $40 million towards its production, making it by far the most successful crowdfunded entertainment project.

THE SEARCH
ZOOM Mondays 8-8:45pm January 16 ANIMA followed by THE SEARCH
What is this journey in between the event we call “birth” and the one we call “death”? Is the journey taking you somewhere, or are you leading yourself to some kind of destination – a destination that could extend beyond your last breath? What do you want from your life during the in between? The questions are there. And, the answers are too.
January 10 Anima Crux (the decisive or most important point at issue)
January 24 Anima Kenosis (the self emptying of one's own will)
February 7 Anima Blaze (an intensely burning fire)
February 28 (Lent begins 3/2) The Search What do you seek? (What can fill our longing for more?)
March 7 The Search Who are you? (Hint:  you are significant)
March 14 The Search Why a God? (science and faith, science vs faith)
March 21 The Search What's our story? (Created/redeemed/sanctified in His love)
March 28 The Search Who is Jesus? (Who do you say that He is?)
April 4 The Search Am I saved? (With man it is impossible, but not with God.)
April 11 The Search Why a church? (We are to be His instrument of salvation in the world.)


THE WILD GOOSE 
ZOOM Thursdays 7:30-8:30pm February 17 THE WILD GOOSE
The Wild Goose series is truly a work of the Holy Spirit. “Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. It is a 14 part series featuring Fr. Dave Pivonka and various interviews. Shot in various locations from Niagara Falls to the California desert, The Wild Goose invites viewers to an encounter, or a renewed encounter, with the Holy Spirit.   (This group has already viewed parts 1-6, you will not need to have seen them to join us.  You can watch them on Formed.org)

What is a Divine Mercy Cenacle?

A Divine Mercy Cenacle is a group dedicated to prayer, bible study, and bringing God’s merciful message of love to families, parish, and community.  This is a bible study, prayer group, and book club all in one, but most of all it is a way of living out the divine mercy message in our lives.

The purpose of the cenacle is to:

• Foster devotion to the real presence of Jesus in the Most Holy Eucharist and to promote Eucharistic Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament;
• Pray specifically for vocations to the priesthood and religious life, for the Church, for our country and the world, for an end to abortion, and for the sick and dying;
• Encourage members in the exercise of the faith through the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy;
• Spread the message of mercy both in the parish and the community.

We invite you to join us as we embark on a new spiritual journey. Participants will need to have a Bible, Cenacle Formation Manual ($13), Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Diary of St. Faustina.  If you are interested in joining, please contact one of the co-facilitators:

Julie Hribar, (262) 200-2424
