The following programs are available to you through the Center for Eucharistic Evangelizing:
The Life In The Eucharist Seminar [LITE Seminar]
This is an adult education program that examines the three essential
elements of contemporary Eucharistic spirituality: celebration (the Mass), contemplation (adoration), and communion (justice). The Eucharistic mystery is approached through five interpretative lenses: God's love as nourishment, reconciliation, transformation, abiding presence, and liberation in the person of Jesus Christ. The seminar usually is conducted over a weekend beginning Friday evening and ending Sunday around 2 p.m. The LITE seminar is ideal for extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, readers, music ministers, adorers, catechists, and any Catholic adult interested in deepening his/her understanding of the Eucharistic mystery.
The Life In The Eucharist Seminar II
A deepening of LITE through an examination of the Old Testament background to the Eucharist. It follows the same format as the LITE Seminar I.
The Team Training Program for LITE
A program which trains and forms LITE seminar leaders to continue offering the seminar to other groups of Catholic adults. There are more than 20 fully trained LITE lay teams conducting the seminar in Australia, Europe, the Philippines, and the United States.
Names and phone numbers of coordinators in these countries can be obtained by calling the Center for Eucharistic Evangelizing at (713) 661-3958 and asking for Nancy MacRoberts or Father William Fickel, SSS.
