Praise and Graze events are held on Wednesday evenings for a series of 3-4 weeks. We gather at 6:00 PM in the parish hall for prayer and a hymn— "praise" followed by dinner— "graze" at 6:10 PM.
At 6:45 PM, participants are welcome to attend the faith formation session, which could include a guest speaker, Bible study, or break-out groups. Topics cover everything from witness testimonies to internet safety to Catholic family life to prayer and spirituality.
Meals are typically catered, and guests can stay for as much (or as little) of the evening as they'd like. Children are welcome to attend, and childcare is provided during the "faith formation" portion of the evening. Please check the calendar for additional details on each evening's specific schedule/event(s).
Registration is required for dinner. Donations can be made online or at the door. Click the buttons below to register or donate now.Spring Series - March 2022
March 9: Emily Lopez - To be Catholic: More than Mass!
Emily is the Archdiocesan Consultant for Evangelization of Adults and Young Adults. Her session will explore how being Catholic is more than a building we attend on Sunday ... or a community of friends we agree with -- but is a VERB that reflects how we live. Morals and virtues reflect our response to knowing and believing in God's tremendous love. But what actions in our lives engage others in considering His love as well? Discipleship is carrying the message of God's love & mercy to others. A disciple is more than a follower ... what else is it? Come and hear more!
March 23: Deb Niesen - Value Them Both | Kansas Pro-Life Amendment
As Archbishop Naumann has shared with us, "the Catholic Bishops of the United States again identified the protection of unborn children as the pre-eminent moral priority. To correct the grave injustice imposed by the Court, the Value Them Both Constitutional Amendment needs to be adopted by the citizens of Kansas. We need elected officials who will take action to defend the innocent life of the unborn and their mothers." As the Archdiocesan Pro-Life Ministries Consultant, Deb Neisen will share with us in more detail - why we need the Value Them Both amendment, where VTB currently stands, and what we can do to help.
March 30: Deacon Nicholas Moragues - Lent: Keeping the Most Important Thing; the Most Important! Deacon Nicholas will lead us on a Lenten reflection considering how "Lent helps us keep the most important thing; the most important thing!" Lent is a time of focus, a built-in liturgical time of retreat meant to help us strip away the distractions of daily life to bring our attention back to Christ. How do we cooperate with this time of reflection and penance? How do we make ourselves a receptacle of God's grace during this holy season?
