Starting Tuesday, November 12, 6:30 - 8:00 PM | Dining Room, Church and Commons

Session 1 | O Sacred Banquet: Eucharistic Theology in Four Parts

6:30 PM Talk by Father Nick Vance
7:15 PM Small Group
7:30 PM Holy Half Hour

Join Us for the Kickoff of the Into the Depths Speaker Series! Fr. Nick Vance will dive deep into the profound mystery of the Eucharist with a captivating presentation inspired by the liturgy for Corpus Christ written by St. Thomas Aquinas. This one verse from the Alleluia will be the foundation of the 4-part talk:

“O sacred banquet! in which Christ is received, the memory of his Passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory to us is given.”

In this session, we will explore the theological richness of the Eucharist in four parts:

  • Christ is Truly Received: Uncover the doctrine of transubstantiation and what it means for us.

  • Memorial of Christ’s Passion: Experience how this sacred meal brings Christ’s sacrifice into the present moment.

  • Filled with Grace: Discover the transformative power of the Eucharist in our lives.

  • Anticipation of Future Glory: Reflect on our hope for complete union with God in Heaven.

Each segment will be a thoughtful 10-minute exploration, complete with a handout outlining major points and key quotations to enhance your understanding.
