'A Pastor's Tale'
Because of popular demand, our pastor, Fr. Nile, will tell his conversion story from his ‘pagan days’ to the priesthood. This talk will be followed by a Q&A session at which time the participants may ask him any-thing pertaining to his life or aspects of the Catholic faith.

Reading Jesus into Genesis:  A Bible Study                                                   
In this Bible Study we will look to the first book of Scripture and examine how the Church understood them in light of the Gospel message of Christ. How did Christ fulfill all that was promised to Adam and Eve? Is there evidence of a Triune God in the creation story? These questions and more will be discussed as we venture into the beauty of the beginnings of Sacred Scripture.

'Images not made by human hands': The Shroud of Turin and the Tilma of our Lady of Guadalupe
In this talk we will look at the history and the miraculous events surrounding these two mysterious images of Christ and his Blessed Mother. As a Catholic, must we believe that these images are real? What does the Church teach on these images? What does the science tell us? All this and more will be answered.
