Course description: Experience the Joy of Following Christ. Following Christ takes more than simply believing in him or doing what he asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than just a believer — He wants you to be his disciple and friend. Follow Me: Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John is your guide to a personal encounter with Christ. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus seeks after us. He comes to meet us and beckons us to follow him. He calls us to be his disciples, to trust him, to open ourselves to his merciful love, and to love others as he has loved us. Follow Me invites you to experience the joy of a renewed friendship with Christ.

Registration and details TBA.

Throughout the operating season May through October each year, we may offer classes, programs, special devotions, and courses that provide spiritual formation. These classes are typically open to all and may have a small registration fee or no fee at all. Programs are often led by the shrine’s spiritual formation leader, Adelaine Nohara, or another guest presenter.

Examples of past programs offered include:

  • The Whole Truth About Mary (an introduction to the whole truth about Mary and how we are called to respond to that truth)
  • Totus Tuus—Totally Yours, Mary! Total consecration to Jesus through Mary (33-day preparation according to the method of St. Louis de Montfort)
  • How to build a Catholic life in a Pagan culture (how we can live in this world without being of the world)
  • Revelation: Thy Kingdom Yet to Come (why the Book of Revelation is the ultimate message of hope for believers who are struggling to not lose faith)
