SUMMARY:Global Celebration of Young People
DESCRIPTION:Youth and Young Adult Ministry \nDream Great Things\nSaturday\, October 28\, 2023 \n11:00 am to 5:00 pm \nAt the Franciscan Renewal Center \n5802 E Lincoln Dr\, Scottsdale\, AZ 85253 \nThe Global Celebration of Young People is a one-day retreat for young people in middle school\, high school\, and young adults up to 39 years old. \nThis year’s theme is Pope Francis’ encouragement to young people to “Dream Great Things!” Our day together will include\, breakout sessions on vocation\, social justice\, and doing good in the world\, praise and worship\, exploring prayer spaces on the FRC campus\, and ending with Mass together. \nVisit our online portal for more details about the day https://www.familyfaithformation.online/global-celebration-young-people \nTheme – Dream Great Things \nChristus Vivit 15. The word of God says that young people should be treated “as brothers” (1 Tim 5:1)\, and warns parents not to “provoke your children\, lest they become discouraged” (Col 3:21). Young people are not meant to become discouraged; they are meant to dream great things\, to seek vast horizons\, to aim higher\, to take on the world\, to accept challenges and to offer the best of themselves to the building of something better. That is why I constantly urge young people not to let themselves be robbed of hope; to each of them I repeat: “Let no one despise your youth” (1 Tim 4:12). \nScripture – Ephesians 2:10 For we are his handiwork\, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance\, that we should live in them. \nSaint – Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati Modern society is drowning in the sorrows of human passions and it is distancing itself from every ideal of love and peace. Catholics\, we and you\, must bring the breath of goodness that can only spring from faith in Christ. \nBreakout Sessions include: \nLearn more about Catholic Social Teaching \nPractical steps young people can take to put their faith in action and serve others \nDiscover what your gifts are \nWhat is religious life and how to discern your vocation Learn ways to discern what God is calling you to do \nSpeaker information can be found at our GCYP online portal https://www.familyfaithformation.online/global-celebration-young-people \nRegistration Fee is $20 per person. \nCommuter\nFull price $20.00 \nSign Up By Friday\, Oct 27 at 10:00am\nFRC.retreatportal.com

SUMMARY:Chastity Project: Double Feature with Jason Evert
DESCRIPTION:This a double feature event combining Purified and Gender & the Theology of Your Body into a retreat event.\nPurified brings parents and teens (13+) together to discover God’s plan for love and opens up an opportunity for them to continue the discussion about this important topic at home\, in a healthy and easy way with resources that work. The event includes a new version of Jason’s renowned talk Love or Lust\, where he mixes humor with down-to-earth practicality that removes any awkwardness\, making the difficult conversations about love much easier. Your family will leave with an understanding of the good news of chastity\, a healthy sense of self-worth\, and the ability\, if needed\, to start again.\nGender and the Theology of Your Body will follow after a short break. This talk asks\, “What’s the meaning of sex\, gender\, and the human body?” The truth of masculinity and femininity are being questioned like never before. Discover how your body as a man or woman reveals your identity and calling. This talk is for teens and adults and provides the opportunity to discuss this difficult topic facing teens and families today.\nThis event includes Eucharistic Adoration\, praise and worship\, and an opportunity to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. This format transforms a couple of talks into a retreat for the family\, allowing them to encounter the source of purity\, healing\, and renewal\, Jesus Christ.

SUMMARY:Contemplation as Gazing and Grazing\, Evening and Morning Session
DESCRIPTION:with Tom Stella \nThis program is offered Thursday evening November 2\, 2023 7-9PM and repeats Friday morning November 3\, 2023 10am-12noon\nContemplation is a word with many meanings. It can be understood as a form of prayer—one that is quiet\, wordless\, meditative. Contemplation can be considered focused thinking\, a synonym for concentration. And contemplation can be a way of being in the world that is sensitive to its sacredness. \nOur time together will touch on all these\, but primarily on a contemplative approach to living our day-to-day and often unexciting lives. Seeing (gazing) through contemplative eyes can enable us to live (graze) in such a way as to feel peace and experience passion – signs that God is close at hand. \nFee: $20 per person. Pre-registration required. \nCommuter\nFull price $20.00 \nSign Up By Wednesday\, Nov 1 at 7:00pm\nFRC.retreatportal.com

Through presentations\, discussions\, meditation and prayer\, we will open ourselves to the teachings of these two great mentors who embodied what they taught. \nFee: Single $300 including meals and lodging; commuter $150 including meals.

SUMMARY:Vatican Exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles
DESCRIPTION:As part of the National Eucharistic Revival\, the Vatican Exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles is coming to Phoenix. There will be many stops on the way. See amazing displays for yourself — no need to travel to Rome! \nWhat is a Eucharistic Miracle?\nEucharistic miracles are extraordinary events or phenomena\, which manifest the Real Presence of Jesus in the consecrated bread and wine in a way that we can discern with our ordinary senses. The manifestation may be as simple as a host floating on air or as astonishing as a host becoming visible human flesh. \nBlessed Carlo Acutis\nTo always be close to Jesus; that’s my life plan. \nWith these few words\, Carlo Acutis\, the boy who died of leukemia\, outlines the distinguishing feature of his brief existence: to live with Jesus\, of Jesus\, and in Jesus. This international exhibition was created and designed by Blessed Carlo Acutis in 2002. It consists of an extensive collection of photographs and historical records representing a sampling of ancient and modern Eucharistic miracles that have taken place in various parts of the world. The collection was assembled by the Vatican to mark the Year of the Eucharist (2004-2005). After being shown at more than 500 parishes in Italy\, it is now traveling the rest of the world. \nBring the exhibit to your parish or school!\nThe exhibition brought to Phoenix is comprised of 47 different miracles spanning 1500 years\, with the most recent one having occurred in 2013! The miracles featured are from Europe\, Asia\, and the Americas. The exhibition offers you a virtual tour of these veritable treasures of our faith. To bring this exhibition to your parish or school\, email EucharisticMiraclesArizona@gmail.com. \nBlessed Carlo Acutis\, pray for us! Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament\, pray for us!\n  \nPLEASE CHECK WITH PARISH FOR EXACT SHOWING TIMES.
