In this exciting series, Baptist convert Stephen Ray shares deep insights and effective arguments to win over even the hardest of hearts. You'll be swept away as this best-selling author and apologist shares his journey to Catholicism and investigates the primary stumbling blocks of those who vehemently oppose the Church, the issues of salvation and the Papacy. Stephen Ray was raised in a devout, loving, Baptist family. Always a zealous instructor of Sacred Scripture, he nearly fell off his chair when a close friend, an Evangelical pastor, converted to Catholicism.

Where do we find the Mass in the Bible? What is the relationship between the two? In ten beautifully produced lessons, Parousia: The Bible and the Mass answers these questions and more. In the latest video Bible study from the St. Paul Center, discover why the liturgy is a major theme that runs through the entire Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. We will not only look to the Law, the Prophets, and life and teachings of Jesus, we’ll also lean on the Doctors of the Church to enhance our understanding of the Mass. We’ll see how the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old is revealed in the New, and why both point directly to the Mass, the sign of the New Covenant. Join host Scott Hahn to uncover how and why all of God’s action, in creation and redemption, is ordered to the Mass. Supplemental readings come from Sacred Scripture, The Catechism of the Catholic Church, and four of Scott Hahn’s books on which the study is based: The Lamb’s Supper, Consuming the Word, The Fourth Cup, and Letter and Spirit: From Written Text to Living Word in the Liturgy. Stephen Ray was raised in a devout, loving, Baptist family. Always a […]

The morning will include Adoration, Confession, Mass, a speaker from New Beginnings, and an opportunity to learn about the HOPE Box, as well as to sign up for Small Groups and Bible Studies.

Those who attend this morning retreat are asked to bring the following items for the HOPE Box to the event or to the Parish Office: candle – tea light size in a holder of some sort; lotion- 2-5 oz. container; hand soap or hand sanitizer – 2-5 oz. container; and journal – 4x6 or smaller.
