THE EUCHARIST

Presence: The Mystery of the Eucharist will explore the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from its origins in Sacred Scripture, to its profound role in the life of the Church and her members. The word EUCHARIST in Greek means “presence,” for it really is the presence of Christ among us. It is the crescendo of the entire story of salvation. We will begin our five-week study of The Eucharist on November 20. The study will take place both in English and in Spanish and both online and in the classroom. The classroom option takes place on Tuesdays at either 1PM or 7:30PM in the Green Building, and another session is held on Sundays at 11:30AM. You may take the entire course online (in either English or Spanish), on your home computer, or your cellphone. To do so, all you need to do is access the internet and then go to www.churchofsthelena.formed.org. If you have never been to Formed before, they will ask you to enter your email address and to create a password (usually at least 6-8 characters with at least one uppercase, one lowercase, and a numeral). Once you have done so, look for a tab at the top of the page (on a computer) or on the bottom of the page (on a cellphone) that says COMMUNITY and click on it. You will then see two studies, one that says THE EUCHARIST and another that says LA EUCHARISTIA. Select your study, and you will see that there are five sessions in this study. We will do one session per week until Christmas. There will also be a tab which you can click to either ask a question or leave a comment. It is that easy. I hope you will all join us for this very important and fascinating study on one of the most important and fundamental mysteries of our faith - The Eucharist.
