Final
Evening with Fr. Kenan Osborne
on Catholic Eucharist Today
Monday, March 22, 7:30 p.m., St. Elizabeth Seton Chapel
This series on
the Eucharist is the source and summit of the life and mission
of the Catholic Church. It is fundamental to who we are as Catholics
and is especially true for those of us who are ministers
of the liturgy. Fr. Osborne is a world-class theologian and a great
speaker. His understanding of the Eucharist and ability to inspire those
who listen to him is simply incredible and all who attend will walk
away with a deeper and more profound respect for the Eucharist.
