Theology of the Eucharist

Tuesdays, October 7, 14, 21 and 28, 2025
10:00 to 11:30 a.m. - In-Person or Online*
Noel Terranova
The Catholic Church calls the Eucharist the “fount and apex of the Christian life.” This four-week series will explore the centrality of the Eucharist in our faith through an examination of the history and evolution of Eucharistic liturgies, a fundamental theology of the sacramental world view, understanding the parts of the Mass, and an exploration of the deep connection between the Eucharist and justice. This series will challenge participants to think more broadly about the Eucharist and will engage theological concepts, but the material will be presented in a way that is accessible to all.
* For those interested in participating virtually, this course will simultaneously be offered online via the Zoom platform. Information on how to access the course will be provided to participants before the first class.
If you are unable to attend in person or online on Tuesdays but are interested in this content, the recording of each class will be shared with all participants weekly so you can still follow along on your own time. Please register as an online participant to receive these recordings.
Offering: $150
