Adult Faith Formation
Franciscan University of Steubenville's Catechetical Institute
presents
We have partnered with the Catechetical Institute of Franciscan University of Steubenville to bring you a chance to further your Catholic faith formation at your own pace through an online learning system. "Franciscan at Home" offers a multitude of workshops, webinars, seminars, and more, at no cost to you. We purchased a year long subscription (July 2024 through June 2025), so please take advantage of this opportunity! If you need help in learning to use Franciscan at Home, there will be a training on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 1:30pm and again at 6:30pm in St. Agatha's Center.

Welcome!
Ready to get fired up? Participate in the National Eucharistic Revival!
In this,the third year of the Eucharistic Revival, Pope Francis exhorts us, "Let us make space for the prayer of silent adoration, in which we experience the presence of the Lord...Let us return to worship. Let us lend the ear of our hearts to the One who, in silence, wants to say to us, 'I am your God - the God of mercy and compassion, the God of pardon and love, the God of tenderness and care...'"
Whether you are trying to fire-up your faith again or grow deeper, we invite you to our monthly Holy Hours of Adoration. Experience various types of prayer and find one that resonates with you.
The Catholics for Life & Liberty offer more silence, while Praise & Worship offers silence and song together.
Why sing and pray out loud so much? God made us, and we are happiest when we praise Him, but we have lost the art of praising. We're great at intercession and asking for things, even at thanking Him. But how often do we simply call out how wonderful He is, name any other of His characteristics, or proclaim what He has done for
us? That is praise, and for some reason it lifts our spirits whether it's done in speech or song. The Praise & Worship Holy Hours give us a chance to "practice" vocal worship which burns on the surface, the voice and actions of our physical bodies, then burns deep into inner silence where adoration has no words.
Both kinds of Holy Hours are a chance to make up for, to believe for those who do not believe. This is a spiritual battle and the evil one is fighting hard. Will we fight for Christ?
St. Brigid's chapel, Mondays, 6:30pm. Bring a mat - all are invited to join these gentle exercises while meditating on the Rosary.
