33 Days to Morning Glory by Fr Michael Gaitley

33 Days to Morning Glory

Please join us on Saturday mornings from 9:15 AM to 10:45 AM for a 5-Week “33 Days to Morning Glory” do-it-yourself retreat to consecrate yourself to Jesus through Mary. It includes a few pages of daily reading and reflection, plus a weekly video.

This is for those who are totally new to this idea, as well as those who would like to re-consecrate themselves. It is for those who want to have a better understanding of Mary’s role in our salvation, and for anyone seeking a deeper relationship with Mary or with Jesus. We would love to have you join us on this journey.

The reading will begin on April 28, St. Louis de Montfort’s Feast Day. Saturday Study Dates: May 3, 10, 17, 24, with the Consecration on May 31

Time: 9:15-10:45 AM
Location: St. Mark Room
Facilitator: Debbie Engel
Cost: $5 for a copy of 33 Days to Morning Glory. If you already own the book, there is no cost for the class.

History of Church Architecture (B.C. to Present)

Church Architecture

Join Fr. Stull for this one-evening course exploring Church architecture. We’ll begin with our roots in the Garden of Eden and the Temple of Jerusalem and continue through the present day. The course will focus on the specific parts that make up a church, but will particularly focus on the why of Church architecture–the ’theology’ of architecture. We’ll explore how our Catholic architecture, liturgy, and music all influence each other and the effect this has on our worship. As always, there will be plenty of time for Q & A at the end. Join us!

Date: Tuesday, May 6, 2025
Time: 6:30-8:00 PM
Location: St. Mark Room
Facilitator: Fr. Stull
Cost: $0
