Marthas & Marys
The Spirit and the Eucharist
Saturday, February 26, 2022 - 8:00 am in Bauer Hall 

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen said that “The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white host.”  For many of us, our experience of the Eucharist is far less meaningful or dramatic as it has become ritualistic and rote.
 
On January 9, 2022, Bishop Sweeney inaugurated the Year of the Eucharist for the Diocese of Paterson to promote a renewed appreciation, understanding and devotion of the Eucharist.  Would you like to take a fresh look at Mass?  
 
Join us on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at 8:00 am in Bauer Hall when Marthas & Marys will watch, discuss and reflect on The Wild Goose Episode of The Spirit and the Eucharist to kick off the Year of the Eucharist.  Fr. Dave Pivonka TOR and others will look at a few of the many ways that the Holy Spirit is present in the Eucharist and can provide a more meaningful encounter with God.

Our Purpose

Growing in faith is the work of the Church. It was the heart of Jesus' own mission to help us human beings connect with our divine source, to help us age with goodness, wisdom and peace, and to help us build and live in the reign of God. The Church seeks to help us live with purpose and meaning by connecting what we believe with how we live, and how we live in community. Thus, we may connect our own inborn hunger for God with our tendency to attempt to satisfy that hunger in ways that do not lead to meaning, these alternate paths may include greed, seeking power, or overuse of earth's resources. The way of faith, on the other hand, leads us to find the courage to allow God to satisfy our hunger and to guide our hearts and lives. We may connect ourselves to those within our households, but also in our neighborhoods and world. We may connect questions we have about the tough moral decisions we face with the guidance of Scripture and the Church and the wisdom or our own elders.

Simply put, we are striving to become a women's social group united in faith.
