Lent 2024 Mission on the Eucharist

Lent 2024 Mission on the Eucharist

19 Feb 2024 | Posted by: chadmin

This Mission, from March 9-13, 2024, will be led by Fr. Luke Spannagel and will focus on the Eucharist.

Fr. Luke will preach all Masses at St. Philomena on March 9-10. Then, on March 11-13 we’ll begin with Mass at 5:30 p.m., followed by talks in the church. No advanced registration is needed.

Fr. Luke may be familiar to St. Philomena parishioners as he is in residence here and helps with Mass and confession as his schedule permits. Fr. Luke is a National Eucharistic Preacher with the National Eucharistic Revival. “The National Eucharistic Preachers are a diverse group of priests who have been commissioned to enkindle the flame of Eucharistic faith and devotion in the United States through kerygmatic Eucharistic preaching.”

March 9  – Children’s Lenten Holy Hour

Families are invited to join us in the banquet room after the 4:30 p.m. Mass. We’ll gather for dinner and then move to the church for adoration, prayer and music to sing praise to Jesus. Children will be guided through prayer time and songs. Dessert will be served in the banquet room after prayer.

TALKS/TOPICS BY FR. LUKE:

Mass at 5:30 p.m. will be an Explanatory Mass. Fr. Luke will talk us through each part of the Mass and help us understand how we can participate more fully. He will discuss how Jesus is the perfect savior on the cross and how the Mass is our participation in the One Perfect Sacrifice.

How Holy Communion draws us into deeper unity with Jesus, one another, and the family of God in Heaven. This night will include adoration, as well as music and prayer reflection with Matt Faley.
