Celebrating the Mystery: The Sacraments – Christianity clearly teaches that Jesus saved us by his passion, death and resurrection. Yet how do I acquire this salvation? How does Christ send that grace my way? What does the grace of God do to me? Join Father Casey Jones as we explore the great mystery of Christ’s greatest gift to the Church— The Sacraments. The Institute for Catholic Studies is offering a Fall series as part of its Deeper Water Program for adult education. Celebrating the Mystery: The Sacraments is eight weeks long and presented straight to your computer or smart device. The course runs November 5 – December 24 utilizing user-friendly reading materials. The cost is $40. The teacher will also provide several opportunities for live questions and interactions.

All proceeds go to the Sugar Bowl Fund for families in the community who are experiencing a financial hardship.

These legends of surf music have united to offer the most spectacular tribute to the Beach Boys! Tickets are $25, $30 or $40 a person and can be purchased at www.veniceperformingartscenter.com.

“Courage in Red” for Persecuted Christians – All are invited to join in a Prayer Vigil at 5:30 p.m. on November 28 at Epiphany Cathedral in Venice. The Diocese will join “Aid to the Church in Need” for “Courage in Red”, an annual initiative designed to raise awareness for persecuted Christians. This year, the Cathedral will be illuminated in red and all Diocesan Catholic students are encouraged to wear red to school while learning about the plight of persecuted Christians before attending the evening Vigil.

Following the 8:30 a.m. daily Mass join parishioners in the Ministry Center for a video presentation of Marietta Jaeger Lane titled, “A Mother’s Journey: From Fury to Forgiveness.”  Listen to Marietta explain what happened after her 7-year daughter Susie was kidnapped on a camping trip.  God changed Marietta’s life and heart.
