Summer Book Discussion Series
Our One Great Act of Fidelity
by Ronald Rolheiser
Facilitator: Maurice Avicolli, O. Praem.
Dates: June 25, July 9, 16, 23, 30 (Thursdays)
Time: 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.
Offering: $50 (five sessions)
In this book the author gives his personal insight regarding the meaning and celebration of
the Eucharist. Each chapter is an explanation of how the Eucharist touches the worshipping
assembly. Overall, the content reinforces the Eucharist as the center and anchor of Catholic
belief in God and access to God. The book underscores the Church’s fidelity in never ceasing
to celebrate Eucharist, which has been the glue holding the Church together in spite of its
own sinfulness and maintaining the Church’s union with Christ and faithfulness to His
vision. Upon registration, you will be advised what to read before the first session.
The Annual Giving Program is in progress and ends on June 30, 2015. Annual Giving
provides the foundation for many of the Abbey ministries and is also a major source of
funding for the operation of the Abbey. We thank you for your past contributions to Annual
Giving and we ask that you prayerfully consider a donation before June 30th if you have not
already done so. May God bless you for your support of the Abbey.
