FORMED – Opening the Word
The Opening the Word Bible Study is a dynamic and exciting journey into the Sunday readings that will help you more deeply understand the Sunday readings, apply the teachings of the Word of God to your daily life, more deeply encounter Christ, and live your Catholic faith in a more powerful way. The study includes both weekly videos and journals. It features a variety of experienced presenters including Dr. Tim Gray, Mary Healy, Scott Powell, Dr. Edward Sri, and Fr. John Riley, Martha Fernandez, and Ben Akers. Over the next few weeks, this is a great resource to help you prepare to fully participate in Holy Week or Sunday Masses. A free account is needed to access the program.
Ave Explores Art and Architecture
This program will look at how both traditional and contemporary Catholic art and construction enrich our faith and give us a deeper appreciation of its beauty. This beauty – represented in paintings, stained-glass windows, sculptures, icons,towering steeples, or tiny chapels – is a door by which we can understand God and the Church. When we gaze upon and contemplate these beautiful works of art, our spiritual lives are enriched.
