We are pleased to announce our Fall 2024 program; all are welcome!

In keeping with our ongoing national and local emphasis on Eucharistic Revival, we will read and discuss the book titled, The Bishop of the Abandoned Tabernacle: St. Manuel Gonzales Garcia, as compiled and translated by Victoria G. Schneider. (pp.126.) ISBN: 978-159417-314-1.

What is this book about?
What you will discover in this book is that, in a situation similar to St. Francis of Assisi, St. Manuel was confronted with a nearly abandoned Church, with a tabernacle in disrepair. And like St. Francis, he felt called by Christ to respond by setting about to restore it. But St. Manuel did so by focusing on Jesus’ presence in the tabernacle. He came to believe that if people understood the true presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, they would flock to Mass, to the Sacraments and to conversation with Jesus in the Tabernacle.
So St. Manuel set about learning all that he could about Jesus’ presence in the Tabernacle. He was led in this process by studying the words of Jesus in the Gospels.
Through his writings, St. Manuel shares with us what he learned, and his burning desire to make the Eucharistic Jesus known, understood, and loved!
