Book Read, Introduction to Devout Life
2024-08-08 19:00 - 20:30 UTC
We are not meeting on Thursday, August 8, because of a special event.

The Complete Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis De Sales
Written over 400 years ago, this book remains one of the most popular for laity responding to the Second Vatican Council’s universal call to holiness. Written as letters of spiritual direction to Philothea (i.e. lover of God), they are remarkably timeless in their practical application for all Christians today. Join us on Thursday nights beginning on November 30th at Precious Blood Church. All parishioners of all the churches are welcome. Led by Curtis Kneblik, Director of Adult Faith Formation for (Precious Blood, St. Rita, St. Paul), the sessions will consist of short presentations with most of the time devoted to reading and group discussion. RSVP’s are helpful for planning.

The Eucharist: God's Plan in Salvation History
2024-08-08 19:00 - 21:00 | Precious Blood Church with Map, 4961 Salem Avenue, Dayton, OH, United States
Join us for a special evening dedicated to deepening our understanding and love for the Eucharist as part of our ongoing Eucharistic Revival.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: The evening is highlighted by Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, offering a peaceful time for personal prayer and reflection in the presence of Christ.
Reflections by Br. Joseph Fisher, C.PP.S.: Brother Joseph Fisher will lead us in thoughtful reflections based on Bishop Robert Barron’s enlightening book, This Is My Body. In his book, Bishop Barron presents a profound analysis of the Eucharist, exploring it as a sacred meal, a sacrifice, and the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. These reflections deepen our understanding of the sacrament of Jesus’s Body and Blood, helping us to love Him more completely.
About Brother Joe Fisher, C.PP.S.:
Brother Joe Fisher grew up on a farm outside of Wapakoneta, Ohio. He is semi-retired after serving as the provincial treasurer for the Missionaries of the Precious Blood for 35 years. His deep faith and extensive experience with the Eucharist make him an inspiring guide for this special event.
Come and be part of this enriching evening as we continue our journey of Eucharistic Revival, fostering a stronger connection to our faith and community through the profound mystery of the Eucharist.

Minister of Care Workshop with Deacon David Shea
@St. Joseph Parish Center, Saturday, August 24, 9:00-11:00 am
This workshop is for those wishing to participate in the ministry of bringing the Eucharist to the homebound. The workshop will be held at St. Joseph Parish Center on Saturday, August 24, from 9:00-11:00 am.
Bringing the Eucharist to the homebound is a wonderful way to generously serve those in our Family of Parishes who cannot attend Mass due to illness, injury, or age. First and foremost, this ministry enables them to receive Our Lord in the Eucharist. It also shows them very personally how they are still an important and valued member of our family. The workshop will be conducted by Deacon David Shea, a permanent deacon at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish in Cincinnati and recently retired Associate Professor of Homiletics at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary. The workshop is free, but please call your parish to register.
