Here is a summary of the key results:● 91% agreed that they had a better understanding of the Eucharist● 90% agreed that they now participate more fully in the Mass because of the program● 94% agreed that they are now more committed to live as a disciple of Jesus each day● 100% of the participants rated the program from Good to ExcellentWhen asked what they felt was the most valuable part of the program, the 6 most popular answers were:● Sharing the faith with other like-minded Catholics● The Group Leaders enhanced the program and made it special for all● Incredible sense of community; meeting other parishioners that would not havehappened if not a part of this program● Having a better understanding of the Eucharist● Better focus on the Mass and the Scriptures● Listening, sharing, and praying in an intimate settingThe Living the Eucharist Committee would like to sincerely thank those parishioners who acted as smallgroup leaders during our Lenten program and all those who participated in the program as a member ofthe small groups, as families, in the teen program, by reading the Exodus to Easter booklet and/or prayingfor the success of the program.
