• NEW TALK — This week, we welcome first time speaker to TASTE, Fr. Ebuka Mbanude, who is a priest at Holy Redeemer Church in Kensington.  He will be talking to us about Living the Beatitudes. Please note that this talk will be "in person" which means there will be an audio posted on the website, but NO live video/Zoom simulcast. Also, per Father's request, please bring your bible.
• PRIEST ADOPTION PROGRAM — One of the missions of TASTE is to "encourage priests in their ministry through prayer, sacrifice and generous assistance in building up the Body of Christ."   Please sign up for our Spiritual Adoption of Priests so that we can unite in this mission to be Spiritual Mothers of our Priests.  We have approximately 50 names of priests who need our prayers. Please consider signing up as we have many more priests than volunteers at this point.  There will be a sign-up list in the Keesler Center.  For those who aren't attending in person, please contact Jennifer Dougherty at jadougherty802@gmail.com or 240-522-1596.
