"Homilies on Canvas: The Supper at Emmaus" in Windham

All are invited to attend one of the free sessions of the popular “Homilies on Canvas” series, presented by Fr. Lou Phillips.

The latest edition, “The Supper at Emmaus,” will be presented on Monday, April 17, in the hall of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on 919 Roosevelt Trail in Windham at 6 p.m.; Friday, April 21, in the hall of St. Hyacinth Church on 268 Brown Street in Westbrook at 11 a.m.; Saturday, April 22, in the hall of St. Anne Church on 299 Main Street in Gorham at 9:30 a.m.; and Sunday, April 30, in the hall of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church at 11:15 a.m., following a 10:15 a.m. Mass.

The Supper at Emmaus, like the Last Supper, has captured the imagination and creativity of artists like Caravaggio and others who have used their artistic gifts and skills to deliver their “homilies on canvas” about the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In this 90-minute presentation, participants will look in depth with eyes of faith at the painter’s “homily” and compare and contrast three other similar yet significantly different artistic depictions. The events aim to expand your understanding of the Eucharistic mystery and shed light on your individual faith and life journey.

The same program will be repeated four times. No advance registration is required. For more information, call 207-857-0490.
