    Powerful preaching, prayer, and reflection will strengthen your faith in Christ's true presence and set your heart ablaze with a renewed devotion to the source and summit of our faith.

    ​

    Each night will conclude with a time of Eucharistic adoration that provides Christ the opportunity to directly speak his love into your heart.

    Filled with the Fullness of God​​

    The Catechism teaches, “To be in touch with Christ, we must first have been touched by the Holy Spirit” (CCC 683). Yet, as Pope Benedict XVI observed, the Holy Spirit, to many Catholics, remains “the great unknown.”

     

    This mission seeks to lift the veil, helping you encounter the Holy Spirit more personally and understand His desire to dwell and work within your heart.
