ACT NOW – Register for Epic: A Journey Through Church History

As Catholics, we are heirs to a remarkable heritage. The history of our Faith is so much more than a list of facts and dates. It is a fascinating story of adventure, rebellion, tragedy, and triumph. A story 2,000 years in the making, one word best describes Catholic history: Epic.  Epic: A Journey through Church History is a captivating and fast-paced look at the story of the Catholic Church. Beginning with the lives of the apostles all the way up to the present day, Epic takes the immense history of the Church and simplifies it into twelve, color-coded time periods. In the course of twenty weeks, participants learn about the major people, places, and events that comprise the captivating story of Christianity. This study provides participants with an understanding of Church history that enables them to have a greater sense of meaning and identity as Catholics.

The 20-week study will be broken up into four 5-week studies across 2018. And, 2 sessions will be made available – Thursday mornings (10a in Croghan Hall) and Thursday evenings (7p in the Middle School Bldg). The winter session will cover the early Church.  Timelines are $5 and will be available for purchase at the session and will be used for all four 5-week sessions.  Registration deadline is 7 January.  The Winter Session begins on Thursday, 10 January.  For more information contact Angela Calabro.

Note:
– study guides may be shared
– you may chose to attend morning or evening, as your time allows
– you may chose to attend part of the overall sessions, as your time allows

A French Baroque Midnight Mass

A French Baroque Midnight Mass

Our choir, soloists and instrumentalists are incredibly excited about the French Baroque Christmas Midnight Mass at Prince of Peace Catholic Church. All are suggested to arrive by 11:30p for prelude music. The centerpiece of the evening is a choral Mass by the French composer, Marc-Antoine Charpentier. The Messe de Minuit pour Noël is based on Christmas folksongs or noëls. The mass is a well-known favorite of both musicians and listeners alike.
