Catholic Life Experience begins Tuesday, Feb. 10th

Sr. Maureen T. Carroll, SBS will begin a Catholic Life Experience Series here at St. Elizabeth Church. This adult Christian Education program will be held every second and fourth Tuesdays of the month from 6:30 to 7:30. There will be time before and after classes for additional reflection and study.

Sr. Maureen writes in the introductory letter to our parishioners: "Have you ever wished that you had an additional opportunity to renew your own spirit-life? What does our church teach? What's new in the Catholic Religious experience? What makes the Catholic Church unique and our life in a community so grace filled? Living in the Presence of God, enhancing an adult experience of a fuller life of the holy Spirit and walking through Scripture brings a deeper life-peace."

The schedule is as follows:

1. February and March - Acts of the Apostles
2. April and May - Gospels according to Luke and John
3. June and July - Letters of John
