Talk begins at 7:30 p.m.Finding Jesus in the Holy Eucharist
Description: Let's be honest. Frequently at Mass the homily is boring, the music is mediocre, and we may find ourselves asking the question, "Wouldn't I be better off looking for Jesus somewhere else or reading the Bible on my own?" Answer: No way! Join us at our next Theology on Tap to consider why the Mass is an essential element in our search for Christ.
Bio: Father John Riley has been a priest for 35 years, serving in the Arlington Diocese, in Denver, and beyond. He has taught and led hundreds of conferences, missions, and retreats for priests, religious sisters, and laity around the country and as far afield as Calcutta, India. The primary objective of his endeavor is to help others seek and find Jesus Christ by treasuring and pondering the Gospels in deep quiet prayer. Fr. Riley currently serves as Spiritual Director for the Arlington Diocese's San Damiano Retreat Center in White Post, VA.
