The 2nd Annual Corpus Christi Event
We invite you to join us for the Corpus Christi Event!
If you're seeking a deeper understanding of the Eucharist, the origins of the Mass or want to deepen your faith then this day is for you! You will never celebrate Mass again the same way!
When: Sunday 22 June (10 am to 3:30 pm)
Where: St. Joachim Hall (adjacent to the Our Lady Help of Christians Primary School) (please see map attached below)
Address: 80A Demetrius Rd, Rosemeadow NSW 2560
Who: We welcome all adults over 18. Any persons under the age of 18 must attend with a parent or legal guardian. Due to the content and nature of material the minimum age of attendees is 14 years.
Food: Morning tea is provided. BYO lunch or the mouth watering Cheeky Burgers Food Truck will be available with their gourmet smash burger menu if you would like to purchase your lunch.
Presenters: Joel and Elise Duval are a married couple with three young children. Both Joel and Elise are Catholic school teachers within the Diocese of Wollongong. Joel has a particular passion for Youth and Young Adult ministry, Sacramental preparation, prayer, praise and worship, and pilgrimages including the Australian Catholic Youth Festival and World Youth Day. Elise has a particular passion for Scripture, Catechesis, Theology of the Body and spiritual writings of the Doctors of the Church.
Content: Ever wonder where the Mass came from? Why is the Eucharist considered the source and summit of our faith? Through catechesis on the History of Salvation leading to the First Passover Meal, The Last Supper (The First Mass) and Good Friday we will discover how Christ is in fact the fulfilment of the Passover. The second catechesis will include a focus on Carlo Acutis, the first saint of the Third Millennium, Christ’s presence in the Eucharist through exploring Eucharistic Miracles, the origins of the feast of Corpus Christi and preparing everyone for the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, procession and Benediction.
