You are invited to attend a virtual Jewish wedding in the city of Cana!  Other attendees include the bride and groom, Jesus, His mother Mary, some of His disciples plus many families and friends of the couple.  Attend in the comfort of your home whenever you wish! The video of the feast is an excerpt from The Chosen, a popular multi-season series about the life of Christ from the perspective of those who interacted with Him. A table discussion, filmed at Corpus Christi, follows the video.  This month’s panelists are Kate Davis, Olivian DeSouza, Elaine O’Neill, Carlton and Rhonda Walker.   Over 25 adults attended the Wedding Feast in-person last Sunday after the 11 am Mass where they shared their experiences of the video and stories of the beginnings of their faith journeys.
