Faith Formation
Life Everlasting: Heaven, Hell, Death, and Judgment is a five-session mini-study designed for today’s busy lives. Each session combines clear teaching, meaningful reflection, and practical application—helping you understand what the Church teaches about death, judgment, heaven, and hell and why these truths are meant to fill you with hope. With powerful videos and easy-to-follow readings, you’ll gain lasting insight into the last things and discover how living with eternity in mind gives everyday life deeper meaning and
purpose. Virgil Brown will guide us through these classes. To register, call the Holy Rosary Parish office at 419-394-5050.
Prayer, Our Deepest Longing During Lent, the Church calls for prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It’s not too late to join us this Lenten Season as we dive deeper into our prayer lives by conversation, scripture study, and a discussion of Ronald Rolheiser’s book, “Prayer, Our Deepest Longing”. Learn how to overcome obstacles to prayer and discover the key to making prayer a part of your life—even on chaotic days.
The six weekly sessions will be held now through March 26, Wednesday mornings at 8:30am and Thursday evenings at 7:00pm, beginning on Thursday, in the Immaculate Conception PAC, Room 102. For more information or to sign up, contact Charlie Mescher at meschercj@bright.net or 419-953-6189.
