Living the Eucharist Lenten Program

Learn how truly Living the Eucharist can enrich your life

The Lenten Season will begin in a few weeks. Last year, we held a series of small discussion groups during the six weeks of Lent entitled “Awakening Faith”. This program sought to enrich our journey of faith by sharing our perspectives about the Church in prayer and honest acceptance. Over 75 people participated in the series. The program was so well-received that many of those participating asked that a similar program be offered again during this year’s Lenten season. We will build on the Awakening Faith experience this year with a discussion series that focuses on the Mass and the Eucharist.

You are invited to join your fellow parishioners in “LIVING the EUCHARIST”. The goal of the program is to help each participant experience the Mass in a more powerful and meaningful way – by getting to know, understand, and love Jesus more deeply through the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Small groups will meet once a week; several sessions will be offered throughout the week that can fit your schedule.

To effectively run the program, we are in need of 10 parishioners who would be willing to serve as co-facilitators – two facilitators for each group. The additional time commitment required for a facilitator over and above a regular participant will be very minimal. A brief orientation for all facilitators will be provided prior to the start of the program.

If you are interested in serving as a group facilitator or to participate in the program, please RSVP online here. We are grateful for your contributions of time and talent to help each other on our journey of faith at St. Charles.

Awakening Faith

Get your soul into shape – exercise your faith!

If this is you, you are not alone:

  • Too busy? Not been to church in a while?
  • Children asking questions about faith that you’re not sure how to answer?
  • Looking for an opportunity to explore your faith?
Awakening Faith may be just right for you! St. Charles Borromeo Church invites you to a six session series which includes topics such as “Spirituality: What’s the Buzz?”, “Can I Accept God’s Mercy?”, “Can the Mass Make My Life Meaningful?” and “The Church and Me.” Learn and ask questions… all in a friendly and confidential setting with fellow Catholics.
The Awakening Faith series will be conducted during Lent from March 13 through April 23, 2011. This special discussion series is free of charge.
Please RSVP for this event online here, or call the Rectory at (718) 624-1177.
