Onsite Presentation: The Eucharist & Social Regeneration

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened”
(Matthew 11:28)

Our society is burdened and longing for regeneration. The
Eucharist is where Christ is encountered, and communities are healed. Our
society is ever changing, always looking for something new to satisfy a
restless heart. Exploring the priestly witness of Blessed Michael McGivney and
other spiritual movements in the Church over the last hundred years, the Christ
in the Eucharist continually restores the restless spirit with truth and beauty
which is ever ancient and ever new.

This lecture will be presented by Father Michael Ruminski.
