MASS DEEPENING SESSIONS

Faith Reborn through the Eucharist 1
January 9, 2006 (Mon) 4:30 – 6:00 pm at the College Chapel
Knowing what goes on in the Celebration of the Eucharist can help foster a deeper appreciation for the rite itself. Set within the context of the mass, each integral element is discussed as it is practiced.

Faith Reborn through the Eucharist 2
January 10, 2006 (Tues) 4:30 – 6:00 pm at the Social Science Conference Room 3 and 4
What problems do the youth face when it comes to the Eucharist? Why are they somehow indifferent to the Mass nowadays? These and other questions will be tackled as the different components of the Mass are discussed and the significance of each component is explained in order for the youth to understand.

Eucharist: Igniting Youthful Faith Through Music
January 18, 2006 (Wed) 4:30 – 6:00 pm at the Science Education Complex Lecture Hall 2 (SEC B201)
Music is a staple in the life of the youth…What is the use of music in the Mass? Do composers of liturgical music keep the youth in mind when they compose? How can the music be made more enticing to the youth without disrupting the solemnity of the Mass?

Youth Speak
January 19, 2006 (Thurs) 4:30 – 6:00 pm, 2006 at the Ching Tan Room (SOM 111)
We conclude the MASS deepening sessions by asking our target audience…the youth: After the sessions, what are their thoughts, insights, opinions, yearnings and sentiments concerning the Eucharist and their own journey towards the Eucharistic Lord.
