Live with Dr. Chris – Scripture & The Mass

September 16, 7 p.m., Online
What’s the difference between studying the Bible on your own or with a group and hearing it proclaimed at Mass? At Mass, what is written in the Bible is “actualized,” and we are able to participate in it. Join Dr. Chris as he explores this more deeply. Go to www.youtube.com/SFDiocese/live to join in.

The Catholic Church: Why Does it Matter?

September 30, 7 p.m., St. Joseph – Mobridge or Online
We are living in uncertain and difficult times. Now, perhaps more than ever, we need the Gospel and grace of Jesus Christ to carry us through the wilderness in which we find ourselves. In this workshop, Dr. Chris Burgwald will help us to see anew the place where Jesus is most fully and powerfully present to us: in the Holy Mass. On September 30, rediscover the power of Jesus in the Eucharist to change your life. Go to www.sfcatholic.org/conversations for all the info or to watch.

The Holy Fathers Know Best

October 20, 7 p.m., St. Lambert – Sioux Falls or Online
How do we live as a faithful Catholic in the world today? According to Pope St. John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict and Pope Francis, the answer lies in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. Even though it concluded 55 years ago, the Council remains as relevant as ever. Come see how they can deeply change your life. Go to www.sfcatholic.org/conversations for all the info or to watch.
