Presence Program - The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

Posted on November 16, 2022 in: Sacraments 101, Around the Diocese, Eucharistic Revival

Presence Program - The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

The Good Shepherd Parish will be giving a special program called Presence which helps us understand the powerful way that God is present in the Eucharist.

The program is free of charge and consists of four modules that will be held over four weeks. Participants can go online at Formed.org to review each week’s topic and watch the video presentation at their leisure.

You do need an account with Formed.org to access the materials.

We will then meet on December 1, 8, 15, and 22 either in person in the basement of the Church of the Holy Family, 185 Church St. Amston, CT, or if you prefer, via Zoom to discuss the week’s topic.

Participant books can be downloaded for free from the formed.org website, or if you prefer to have a printed booklet, they are available for $6 each. Registration is free but is required. Please contact Mark Desrosiers at topgum@charter.net to register.
