May Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

May Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

With the arrival of spring, it seems timely to address the beauty of the Catholic Church. Beauty is the single aspect of God which can be expressed physically within the earthly realm. It is critical to the setting of the holy Mass. God is present at the Mass, in the Eucharist. The church stands as the dwelling place of the Lord on Earth and reflects the Church dwelling in Heaven.

Beauty is not merely man’s arrogance or a waste of resources which could be directed to the poor. Beautiful settings,  artwork,  music and liturgy are appropriate and necessary aspects of God’s everlasting mystical presence before mankind. Please take time to prayerfully absorb the beauty of every church you enter as you contemplate what Heaven might be like.

CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to host Maximus Cabey on April 4th

On Tuesday, April 4, 2023, our CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to host Maximus Cabey as he presents “My Journey Back to the Catholic Church” at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre. This is a personal and honest story of his life.

For the past 30-plus years he has held ministry roles in Catholic, non-denominational and Eastern Orthodox churches, and currently serves as Child & Youth Faith Formation Director and Ecumenical Officer for the Diocese of Green Bay.

He admits that his departure from the Catholic Church was, in part, because he was impatient and immature. Cabey shares insights he gained that can help the Church understand and meet the challenges it faces today.
