March 5, 2025In keeping with the tradition of Lenten observation, Saint Benedict Catholic Church will conduct a three-day Lenten mission at 7 p.m., March 12-14, at 632 N. Kickapoo St. in Shawnee. The mission facilitator will be Father Jonathan P. Meyer from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.
Father Meyer was ordained into the priesthood in 2003. He is currently pastor in solidum and moderator at four parishes in Indiana. Father Meyer often presents talks at various parishes in Indiana and throughout the country.
The topic of his Lenten mission at Saint Benedict: “The 14 Stations of the Eucharist.”
“In a study conducted in 2019 by the United States Bishops, only 30% of Catholics believe that Jesus is present body, blood, soul and divinity in the Holy Mass,” Father Meyer said. “This is shocking data!”
By taking his audience through what he calls the 14 stations of the Eucharist, Father Meyer will explain the true meaning of Mass and what the Eucharist truly is.
“These 14 stations are biblical journey from the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation, the two bookends of the Bible, to reveal God’s love for us in the most Blessed Sacrament,” Meyer said, “but also the fact that the Mass is the re-presentation and the prefect and only redeeming sacrifice that God had ever intended since the fall of Adam and Eve.”
There will be a Q&A session at the end of the presentation. All parishioners and friends and other surrounding churches are encouraged to attend this free series of presentations.
