Join Fr. Doug for a three part discussion on the theme of An Adult Christ at Christmas beginning on Tuesday, November 16th.  It will be based on the wonderful volume of the same name by Fr. Raymond Brown, the greatest of all American scripture scholars. In this three part series, Fr. Doug will speak about the stories of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels and how they contain the entire message of the Gospel tradition in miniature. He will also examine several of the very familiar Christmas gospels and how they invite us to discover an adult faith in the midst of the Christmas season fascination with the “baby Jesus”. The Savior born in Bethlehem is also the Crucified Lord of Calvary and the Resurrected Lord of the present moment!  

The sessions will take place on Tuesday, November 16, November 30 and December 14. 

To accommodate parishioners with different schedules, two sessions will be offered - there will be a morning session from 9am-10:30am and an evening session from 6:30am-8pm.
