Study Materials
SESSION 1
What's Our Story
The Bible is the story of God's love for us. He created us out of love, redeemed us by His love and transforms us in His love.
SESSION 2
Who is Jesus?
Jesus is both God and man, therefore he reveals who God is in relation to us. Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Who do you say that I am?" (Matthew 16:15) He asks this same question of us: who do you say Jesus is?
SESSION 3
Am I Saved?
Salvation is a gift from God through Jesus Christ that required our "yes."
SESSION 4
Why a Church?
Jesus didn't simply leave us a written message or instruction manual to follow. He gave us a living, dynamic Church where we encounter him personally and allow ourselves to be transformed into his likeness.
SESSION 5
God is with Us
God's presence in the Old Testament foreshadows the gift of the Eucharist, one of the seven sacraments of the Church. Jesus established the Eucharist to give us strength and accompany us at every moment of our earthly journey.
SESSION 6
The Story of the Eucharist
The story of the Eucharist can be traced throughout Scripture. From Genesis to the present day, this session explores how the Cross is the new Tree of Life, and the Eucharist is its fruit.
SESSION 7
Bread for the Journey
The Eucharist sustains us on our spiritual journey. Our participation at Mass through the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist is an offering of thanksgiving to God. We are then sent forth to share what we have received.

Pastoral Letter
Encountering Jesus in the Eucharist: Disciples Called To Worship (2022)
As we continue our journey into missionary discipleship as "Disciples on the Way," we move into the next phase of our discipleship process, the Worship Jesus years. In his latest pastoral letter, Bishop Ricken calls us to a deeper appreciation of Jesus in the Eucharist and a greater focus and study on the Mass.
