Sensus Fidelium is Latin for "sense of the faithful." The concept concerns how, together, the faithful understand and live the faith. The programs provided by this ministry will teach us about all those topics that the Church considers "Tradition": the Mass, the Blessed Virgin Mother, St. Joseph, the saints, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and more! If you ever wanted to learn more about your Catholic faith and begin to grow in your own "sensus fidelium", this will be the place for you! Everyone is welcome!

The Sensus Fidelium programs will typically have a similar format to those in the Living Word program but, while the Living Word exclusively studies Scripture, the Sensus Fidelium programs will discuss everything BUT Scripture.

The first program of Sensus Fidelium will begin on January 4, 2024 and is entitled, "A Biblical Walk Through the Mass" by Dr. Edward Sri of Ascension Press.

This 5 session class will run on Thursdays, from 7pm - 8:30pm, from 1/4/2024 - 2/1/2024.
 

The Mass is nothing short of amazing. Through it, we encounter God in the most intimate way possible as we hear him speak to us in the Liturgy of the Word and as we receive him Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Holy Eucharist.

The words, the gestures, and the rituals of the Mass are rich in meaning. Everything we say and do in the Liturgy is steeped in biblical language. A Biblical Walk Through the Mass explores the extraordinary biblical roots of the Liturgy and reveals what it all means and why it all matters. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

"Dr. Sri’s best-selling study program, A Biblical Walk Through the Mass, has been a blessing for thousands over the past decade. ... We need to recommit ourselves to the central act of our faith with passion and joy. This marvelously written aid will help us join ourselves to the Lord as he offers himself to the Father in the Sacrifice of the Mass." 
—Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap., archbishop emeritus of Philadelphia
