The Deacon's Table

The Deacon’s Table at The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul is an adult Sunday School Class led by Deacon Tom and Brenda McConnell that (in non-coronavirus times) meets each Sunday between Masses in the Varallo Parish Hall from 10:15-11:15am.

Please come join us to FEAST UPON SPRITUALITY at the Deacon’s Table.  Pull up a 3-legged stool and join us to learn and discuss essential elements of Spirituality: 

• an active and spontaneous prayer life,
• a personal relationship with Christ, and
• a comfortable enthusiasm with Holy Scripture. 

The purpose of The Deacon’s Table is to equip members for discipleship.  We study apologetics, Sacred Scripture, Catholic doctrine and catechism, and general topics of current applicability and interest.  You will experience prominent Catholic personalities, scholars, and presenters in varying modes such as DVD, YouTube, guest speakers, and other video/audio media.

Ours is an excellent forum to socialize and meet other parishioners, to forge lasting friendships and mentorships.  Let the “Deacon’s Table” become your extended family.  We have socials quarterly and, in the summer, include a Kids’ Table meeting separately but at the same time as the Adult Table.

For more information, please speak with Dcn. Tom or contact us through the parish office. You may also join The Deacon's Table discussion group on the myParish app.

While the coronavirus measures are in place at the church, we are not able to meet between the morning Masses. However, The Deacon’s Table is now having a virtual meeting most every Sunday at 5pm.  (See our Events calendar below.) If you are not already signed up with Dcn. Tom McConnell, please contact him to receive the notifications.

Next Meeting April 25 5pm 

We finished Dr. Brant Pitre’s  look at Matthew’s portrait of Jesus as Messiah, Teacher/Rabbi/New Moses.  Join us this Sunday to view Mark’s portrait of Jesus as Miracle Worker/Exorcist/Suffering Son of Man.

I strongly encourage you to print the free outline of this presentation at www.brantpitre.com on the “Excerpts & Outline” link and to use that outline to follow along each Sunday.

God bless….Deacon Tom
