A Lenten Series presented by Fr. Joe Fortuna.
Join us in the Church Hall from 7-8:30pm on the following dates for a presentation, small group discussions, and refreshments!
Session 1 - How Symbols Work
Review Video
Human beings engage and interpret our world and our reality with and through symbols. Take an in-depth look at what all these symbols have in common and how they “work” to help us engage with our world.
Session 2 - "Official" Religious Symbols
Tuesday, March 7th
Religious symbols are the means by which we engage and encounter God and all aspects of the sacred. Explore symbols from the Catholic Christian tradition to consider their meaning and engagement.
Session 3 - When Evidence No Longer Seems Like Evidence
Tuesday, March 14th
Arguably one of the significant reasons for drop-off in religious affiliation is that “official” religious symbols no longer engage people in meaningful ways. Explore why this is the case and consider ways forward.
Session 4 - When Evidence No Longer Seems Like Evidence
Tuesday, March 21st
God’s encounter with human beings is not limited to “official” religious symbols. Consider the interplay of “official” and “unofficial” religious symbols to discover how we can find God where God finds us.
