Speaking Topics
FOR REAL? Christ’s Presence in the Eucharist
The title of his book is also the title of the talk Dcn. Dennis offers to parishes, conferences, and missions. In his talk he shares his journey of faith from how he became and unbeliever in Christ’s Eucharistic presence to how he found his way back to a place of total and on-fire belief in the Real Presence. Using the analogy of a Relay Race, ( Leg 1: what did Jesus teach - Leg 2: …Apostles teach - Leg 3: …Early Church Fathers teach - Leg 4: …The Church Today teaches). Dcn. Dennis’s talk presents a very understandable apology of the Eucharist and a simple method that every Catholic can use to share this truth with others. This talk is best suited for two-to-three-day parish missions or for conference talks over two to three hours/two to three hour sessions.
The Eucharist Timeline: From Genesis To Today
This talk starts with the Book of Genesis and walks participants though an overabundance of truths which demonstrates the truth of the Real Presence. Beginning with Genesis the talk moves through the Eucharistic prefigurements of the Old Testament, through the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles, the Early Church Fathers, and to the Church of today. This talk works best as a single talk in a conference or parish setting.
