Lunch and Learn: Walk through the Mass Step-by-Step

,

Thursday, January 23, 2025
11:30 AM - 1:30 PM

Click here to get the Mass Minute emailed to you.

Walk through the Mass Step-by-Step with Father Kevin and Father Nick. You will receive a worship aide with additional fun facts, scripture references, and deeper insights into the prayers. The Teaching Mass will be a great experience to help us more fully live out this year’s theme, Remain in Me and Bear Much Fruit. By learning about what we do at Mass and why we do it, we will come to a greater understanding of this great prayer the Lord has given us, and be better equipped to share the understanding and meaning of the Mass with others.

Registration is not required, but highly admired. Simply contact the Parish Secretary at parishsecretary@olgparish.org or 952-929-3317.

Speaker: Dr. Pamela Patnode
Title:  What is the Eucharist and Why Should I Care?

Many of us recognize that the Lord’s Day and the Eucharist are important – or, at least, they are supposed to be. But in all honesty, it can be hard to know how to fit them into our busy lives. This presentation takes a Biblical look at the Eucharist and the Sabbath, and offers practical ideas for busy people to honor the Lord’s Day with greater intention. In addition, current research will be shared that shows the surprising connections between worship and overall happiness and well-being. Come learn about the Eucharist and why it matters in our daily lives. (for teens and adults).

Dr. Pamela Patnode, OblSB is an international speaker who shares her experience as a wife, mother, Catholic author, educator, and Benedictine Oblate. She strives to inspire others to live their faith with passion and intention. Patnode holds a Doctorate in Education and a Master of Arts degree in Theology.
