Lumen Services and Products

Life After Sunday
Life After Sunday is Lumen's own catechetical project for parish life. Currently, it includes a series of 8-page issues focused on the deepest desires of the human heart, the Intimate Path catechesis, parish websites and retreat materials for high school and young adults.

• Life After Sunday issues can be used for small group discussion or personal reflection. With themes like Freedom, Security, Beauty and Power, each single issue of Life After Sunday shows how life with Jesus Christ in the Church leads the human person to the fulfillment of his or her destiny.
• The Intimate Path catechesis is a contemporary expression of the classical love of the saints for Jesus Christ. By linking the Church's teachings and tradition with everyday experience, the Intimate Path seeks to assist parishioners in an authentic formation of the heart. This free web resource can be used for personal reflection or to complement catechesis in the classroom and small group settings.
• Retrieve offers thoughtful dialogues on retrieving the experiences of human life that can make reading and living the Catechism of the Catholic Church always NEW. Enjoy this series as Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete provides an "interpretive key" to make your personal study of the catechism fruitful.
• Life After Sunday retreat materials have been developed for high school and young adult groups. For more information, contact us.
