Content:
Ever wonder where the Mass came from? Why is the Eucharist considered the source and summit of our faith? Through catechesis on the History of Salvation leading to the First Passover Meal, The Last Supper (The First Mass) and Good Friday we will discover how Christ is in fact the fulfilment of the Passover. The second catechesis will include a focus on Carlo Acutis, the first saint of the Third Millennium, Christ’s presence in the Eucharist through exploring Eucharistic Miracles, the origins of the feast of Corpus Christi and preparing everyone for the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, procession and Benediction.
