Held Mondays at 6:30 PM and continue for seven weeks. The program focuses on elements of the inner sanctuary of the Jewish Tabernacle and how they connect to the Church’s Magisterium (teaching authority), the Eucharist, incense, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and more. A perfect way to unwrap the Christmas mysteries!
Cost for the workbook is $25; there is also a “textbook” highly recommended for anyone who would be joining us without having participated in the first half of the series.

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
We should pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory all year. Here are prayers you can pray for them.
