1:15 pm Breakout Session Options

1)    Food for the Journey: How the Eucharist Enables a Life of Discipleship: The Eucharist imparts incredible graces to those who receive it. Why, then, does it seem so hard to reap the fruits of those graces in our lives? In this breakout Jonathan Sullivan will explore how the faithful can draw on the gift of the Eucharist to develop as more mature and intentional disciples.
2)    Incarnational Mission: How the Eucharist Equips us for Mission to the World: When we encounter Christ who comes to dwell with us, we are transformed and sent forth as missionary disciples. In this talk, Jessica Wade will discuss how the abiding presence of Christ in the Eucharist compels us to bring Him beyond the doors of our parish church and out into the world.
3)    Ready the Way of the Lord: The Role of Conversion in the Eucharistic Way of Life: In every Eucharistic encounter God is calling us to new pathways of healing, sanctification and joy. In this talk, Rob Hartley will explore how the Eucharist calls us to a continuous cycle of conversion and transformation.
