Keys to the Kingdom: The Sacrament of Confession and the Eucharistic Revival

A Four-Week Study at St. Vincent Ferrer
Tuesdays, July 11 through August 1 • Lower Church at 6:45 PM


Jesus Christ instituted the seven sacraments to save us in a particularly human way, that he might form our hearts after his own.  Confession and the Eucharist play an especially central role in this, healing and nourishing us, and so leading us to abide more deeply and more completely in his life and love.

In this time of Eucharistic Revival, join the Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer & St. Catherine of Siena for a four-week summer study with Rev. Br. Charles Marie Rooney, O.P.  on the inner workings of the Sacrament of Confession, its particular effects on our souls, and its key relationship to holy reception of the Eucharist.  Talks will run for about 50 minutes with Q&A and fellowship to follow.  Feel free to attend one or all, as you are able.  Please bring a friend!
