Bedford parish to host ‘Theology of the Body’ workshops on Nov. 5-7

St. Vincent de Paul Parish, 1723 “I” St., in Bedford will host three workshops on the “Theology of the Body” on Nov. 6-7.

A workshop for adults is scheduled on Nov. 5-6. High school students may participate in a workshop on Nov. 7.

The “Theology of the Body” was presented by Pope John Paul II in a series of catechetical presentations from 1979-84 as an explanation of the Church’s teachings on human sexuality and selfless love.

The adult workshop begins at 7 p.m. on Nov. 5. On Nov. 6, the program starts with Mass at 9 a.m. and concludes at 3 p.m.

High school students will gather at 6 p.m. for a program on Nov. 7, which concludes at 9 p.m.

There is no registration fee for the workshops, although free-will donations will be accepted. There is a $15 fee for the continental breakfast on Nov. 6.

Terre Haute parish to host Maryknoll priests during Oct. 16-21 mission

Two Maryknoll priests originally from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis will lead a parish mission on Oct. 16-21 at St. Margaret Mary Church, 2405 S. Seventh St., in Terre Haute.

Maryknoll Father James Madden, previously a member of the former St. Francis de Sales Parish in Indianapolis, and Maryknoll Father Dennis Moorman, who was a member of St. Maurice Parish in Decatur County, will explore the question, “What Is the Mission of Jesus Today?” during the parish mission, which is open to the public.

Ordained in 1960, Father Madden spent 49 years in the missions of Peru among the Aymara indigenous people of the high Andes Mountains near Lake Titicaca.

Father Moorman was ordained in 1998. He ministered for 10 years in missions in the Amazon basin in Brazil, and currently serves as the vocations director for the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers.

The bilingual parish mission will have a special focus on the mission of Jesus as seen in social justice issues.

The mission will begin during the weekend Masses on Oct. 16-17. There will be a welcome dinner following the 4 p.m. Mass on Oct. 16. A Mass will be celebrated in Spanish on Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Other mission sessions will begin at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 18, through Thursday, Oct. 21, in the parish church.
