SPIRITUAL LIFE

CATECHETICAL MINISTRY

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake.  The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge.  –Mark 4:1
 
School of Religion Summer Hours:  Available by appointment.
 
The Transfiguration School of Religion exists to assist families in the faith formation of their children. The program provides opportunities to learn Catholic doctrine, to share faith, to worship through prayer and sacrament, to connect to our parish community, and to respond to the gospel message in witness and service. 

Who would WANT to be a catechist??

===== Advent Message Series

An Advent Series to deepen hope and expectation.

A promise fills us with anticipation. It offers hope for the future and gives us something to look forward to. For a promise to inspire hope, we need clarity on what is being offered and trust in its fulfillment.

The Christmas season is rich with promises. But what is the true promise of Christmas? What should we anticipate during this season and beyond?

Without a clear understanding of what Christmas genuinely promises, we risk missing out on its true meaning and the expectations we can have of God throughout the year.

In this four-week series we will look at the Promise of Christmas and the expectations we can have for it.

Join Us and Uncover the True Promise of Christmas!

Week One – Promise of a Ruler
Week Three- Promise of Joy
Week FourPromise of Peace
 
 
Daily reflections can be found on our Facebook page OR delivered to your inbox through Flocknote (sign up here).
