5 Session Catholicism Study! In this last session, Monday, March 19, we will talk about the Eucharist, the center and focus of our faith. The Bread of Life Discourse (John 6) is broken down into parts that are easy to understand -- I am God, and I can change bread and wine into my Body and Blood. If this mystery can be explained, this is the best one I have heard. Please come and learn about this critical and uniquely Catholic part of our faith. Soup & salad at 6:00pm and video at 6:30pm. Questions? Contact Carla at 952-472-8204 or clabore@ourladyofthelake.com.
