The parish has invited the entire community to attend.

"We hope many people from the community who are not familiar with the Catholic faith will join us to find out more about our faith," a church spokesman said.

On Monday the meditation will focus on the life of Moses and the burning bush. The second evening the talk will center on "Moses, Pharaoh and Ourselves: The Passage Through the Sea of Reeds."

The final talk will be a meditation on "The Servant of God: The life, Passion and Deaths of Moses and Jesus."

The last night will be in the context of a holy hour and will conclude with benediction with the Blessed Sacrament.
