VIDEO SERIES
~ The Catholic Table ~
Finding Joy Where Food & Faith Meet
This 6-part video series by Emily Stimson Chapman will be presented on Wednesday evenings at 6:00 PM, beginning June 1, in the Transfiguration meeting room. Please join us for this lecture series. You’ll be so glad that you decided to take an hour out of your Wednesday to be nourished spiritually.
What does our Catholic faith teach us about eating well? Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award winning author Emily Stimson Chapman explains, with a sacramental worldview the supernatural gift of God’s grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat & share.

Catholic Book Club
The next Book Club meeting will be Sunday, June 5, at 4:00 PM in the Transfiguration meeting room. We will be discussing "A Prisoner and Yet" by Corrie Ten Boom.
Selfless and strong-willed, Corrie, the daughter of a Dutch watchmaker, stood firm in her beliefs even when she had lost everything -- her freedom, her family, her country and even the clothes off her back. Throughout her time in various concentration camps, Corrie did not fear death and believed God would deliver her.
This true story is a must read for men, women, and teenagers, and a book you will want to discuss with others. Please consider joining us to discuss the book.

OUR YOUTH GROUP
NEEDS YOU !!!It isn’t always easy keeping the faith in the teen years! Peer pressure, social media, grade point averages, jobs, dating…. The list of stressors goes on. Now is exactly when our kids need God and their faith community!
Confirmation is just the beginning of their faith journey—not the end! But how do they continue the journey without guidance, good friends and role models?
Please consider being one of those role models!
We meet formally only once a month, but we need help with transportation to field trips, retreats and fun events. The small amount of time needed from our volunteers will be returned in rewards greater than you can imagine!
For more information about what this volunteer post involves, please call Mary Ann Miller at 724-265-4040!
