Adult Enrichment

As adult Catholics we are encouraged to make the journey of faith a lifelong
conversion of the whole person. How do we do this? We stay informed through our education program called  “Adult Enrichment.”

Our fall and winter 2 part sessions  (the second part is during Lent) Longing for the Holy has a Lenten Session 2/21-3/28.

Our February Saturday Enrichment program - Cancer Prevention Month

Metanoia: the biblical term for a complete change of heart which turns one to serve the living God that enhances both personal integrity and the good of the Christian community. Come hear the stories of metanoia/conversion. February is National Cancer Prevention Month. 1 out of 2 men and 1 out of 3 women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Know your risks and caution signs. Early detection is your best protection. Join our speaker on Saturday, February 6th after the 4:30 pm Mass. Watch the bulletin for further information.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

"How kind is our sacramental Jesus! He welcomes you at any hour of the day or night. His love never knows rest. He is always most gentle towards you. When you visit him, he forgets your sins and speaks only of His joy, His tenderness, and His love, By the reception he gives to you one would think He has need of you to make Him Happy. (St. Peter Julian Eymard)

We are fortunate to have the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament in Pueblo. Please see this information if you would like to be a part of their Eucharistic Adoration program. They are in need of participants for their Adoration programs. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow spiritually. We are so fortunate to have it available. Try it!
