Magnificent Humanity - Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), addresses one of the defining questions of our age: how to safeguard human dignity in the era of artificial intelligence. Signed on May 15, 2026, and released on May 25, 2026, the document explores technology, human identity, work, truth, and the Christian vision of authentic humanity. Fr. Baker and Maryann will lead us through a reflective study of this important document.

 

Faith and Politics - Maryann will lead this annual pre-election reflection on the role of faith in politics, the Christian call to faithful citizenship, how to thoughtfully prepare to vote, and how to engage in peaceful conversations on political issues.

​

Liturgy of the Hours: An Introduction - This past year, the Church approved a new English translation of The Liturgy of the Hours, the official daily public prayer of the Catholic Church. Learn about this rich tradition of praying Psalms and prayers - it’s not just for priests and nuns!

 

Advent Lectio Divina - Join us for evening prayer and “divine reading” during the busy season of Advent. This ancient Christian practice of slow and thoughtful scriptural reading, meditation, prayer, and contemplation leads us to communion with God and putting faith into action in our daily lives.
