The session’s theme was Eucharist as Reconciliation. Fr. Bob Wardenski noted that every time we’re at Mass receiving Eucharist is Reconciliation. We experience God’s mercy and love at Mass. Deborah Keenan gave a witness talk on how Eucharist helped connect a strained family relationship.

The afternoon allowed so many people in our WHEAT Family to see the beautiful Church at St. Joseph’s and experience their hospitality in the Parish Hall. The next session is on Eucharist as Transformation. It will be held at Immaculate Conception, East Aurora from 2-3:30pm on March 3rd. Our speakers are Fr. Karl Loeb and Christine Kelly. We hope you can join us!

          

Fr. Jerry gave a wonderful presentation on Eucharist as nourishment. Deacon Kevin Barron gave a beautiful witness on the same topic. He also challenged us to invite others to our communal meal as an invitation to a guest of honor. He noted that telling people they will go to hell for not coming may not be an effective invitation. He also shared ~ “See you in the Eucharist” is a reminder that when we receive Eucharist everyone is there regardless of their location.

Fr. Jerry taught us about Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament before leading us in worship.

It was a holy afternoon for our WHEAT Family to gather for catechesis, prayer and fellowship.
