Into the Deep

- Into the Deep
  
  A course from the St. Patrick Catechetical Institute — St. Patrick Parish's faith formation program built on four pillars: Sacraments, Practicum, Catechesis, and Initiation. Over five sessions, we explore how to pray and hear God's voice, following the saints who gave their lives to it. From Franciscan simplicity to Ignatian discernment, each session draws from a different tradition of prayer and brings it home for everyday life.
- The Rich Young Man
  
  Session One
  
  St. Francis of Assisi began as the son of a wealthy cloth merchant — and ended up changing the Church forever. This session traces his journey from privilege to radical poverty, walking through the key moments that shaped him: his renunciation of worldly goods, his call to repair the Church, and his receipt of the stigmata. We close with a communal practice of Lectio Divina, the meditative prayer with Scripture that originally inspired Francis's own mission — and an invitation to let his example deepen our own.

- The Hounds of God
  
  Session Two
  
  Into the Deep continues Thursday, June 11 at 7 PM in the social hall.
  Session 2 — The Hounds of God — takes us into the life of St. Dominic and the Dominican Order, whose zeal for preaching and truth left a lasting mark on the Church. We'll also explore the Rosary as a prayer practice you can carry with you every day.
