FROM OUR BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR - In last week’s Bulletin, I promised to provide more detail about the Conference on the Eucharistic Congress that we are planning for Wednesday, August 14 at 7:00 pm in Fish Creek.
So here’s a brief summary of the format:
We will have each of our three clergy presenters (Father Tom, Deacon Tony and Deacon David) give a short talk on a particular aspect of the Eucharistic Congress. Then Beth will play a couple of pieces of worship music that relate to the Liturgy of the Eucharist and she will give a short introduction for each of them.
Following these spoken and musical presentations, we will have the clergy and Beth take questions in a panel discussion format. We will likely have some prepared questions, along with impromptu questions from the audience.
I will provide the basic continuity function throughout – introducing the presenters, moderating the Q&A, etc.
Immediately following the conference, we will offer some light refreshments to attendees.
We will also be having Mass immediately before the conference (Mass at 6:00 pm, with the conference to follow at 7:00 pm). The Mass will be a vigil Mass for the Holy Day of Obligation (the Assumption of Mary) that falls on the next day.
In next week’s Bulletin, I will say more about how we are advertising and promoting the conference and how we intend to try to make it an event for both the Parish and the broader community. Click Here for a printable conference brochure.
