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??
===== Remain In Me Series
Summer Series on the Eucharist:
Join us for any or all of this 5-part small group series: Remain in Me (based on a work by Cardinal Blaise Cupich and further developed by the Archdiocesan offices of Lifelong Formation and Divine Worship) hosted by the Evangelization Team on Wednesdays: June 19, 26, July 10, 17, 24 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm in the Old White Church.
Our time together will include video presentation, self reflection questions and small group discussion based on Take, Bless, Break, Share: A Strategy for a Eucharistic Revival, by Cardinal Blase Cupich,
June 26th – The Eucharist as a Matter of Life and Death: In this second reflection, we are invited to pray about, contemplate, and discuss the great importance of worship and how the Eucharist is vital to our lives as Catholics. As we ponder the Bread of Life as God’s response to the deepest hunger of the human heart, may we grow in the desire to receive “The Eucharist as a Matter of Life and Death.”
June 19th – Week One: The Imperative of Worship: In this first reflection, we are invited to pray about, contemplate, and discuss the Catholic Tradition of the Eucharist as the central act of worship that sustains the life of faith.
All are welcome as we explore the Eucharist in our lives today, especially as our Catholic Church prepares for the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage to Indianapolis this July. Stop in the main church after the sessions to spend some quiet time with Jesus during Wednesday Holy Hour!

===== Could YOU be a Catechist??
Catechists DO NOT need to be teachers. They DO NOT need to be theologians. They DO NOT even need to be a “church lady” (or man). They DO NOT need to have all the answers. Catechists DO need to love Jesus Christ. They MUST want to share their faith with children. They MUST be prepared to have their own faith and love grow.
The School of Religion is looking for English speaking catechists on Wednesday afternoon/evening and Sunday mornings. Catechists are able to waive a portion of the Religious Education tuition for their children or grandchildren. We provide lesson guides, mentoring, support and instruction both in person or online. If you feel you are being called, please call Mary at 847-526-6400 x 239. We have been praying for you to join us.
