Merlot with the Messiah
Monday, September 27th, 2021
7:00 pm
It is that time of year again. It is a time of pumpkin lattes, cider, and decreasing daylight but more importantly the time for the call of the school bell. Everyone has a obligation to themselves to answer that call in some way. Here at St Elizabeth Ann Seton one of the educational opportunities offered is Merlot With The Messiah. We meet the last Monday of the month at 7 pm to enjoy a glass of wine and have an informational discussion on a selected topic. Over the years our most popular discussions have been on the history of our faith.
With that in mind we approach our topics for this fall:
September 27 - The History of the Catholic Church in the United States.
October 25 - The History of the Catholic Church in Michigan.
December 6 - The Movement of the Apostles.
We are revisiting our past discussion on the apostles for two reasons:
It is a topic that we have had several requests to repeat and it is a lead in to the new formation series that will be offered here at SEAS starting in January - we will be viewing and discussing season one of The Chosen. Watch the Bulletin and Website for more information on this inspiring series. -
Merlot with the Messiah is in session for 2021, again applying social distancing and mask wearing for our in-person session. Attending via Zoom is also available.
As everyone has started receiving their vaccinations and we start opening up a bit more, we thought a fun night together would be a great idea. This month’s topic will be ‘Catholic Trivia’.

March 29, 2021
Topic: Holy Week - Why each day is holy.
7:00 pm in the Social Hall.
(also available via Zoom; please pre-register)
Our next session of Merlot with the Messiah will be on Holy Monday. In honor of the day, we will walk with Jesus through his activities not just on Monday, but throughout the week. We all know what happened on Sunday and we have a good handle on Thursday and Friday but what about the other days of that fateful week? The Bible does tell us. In fact, a significant part of Jesus's teachings that are recorded in the gospels are recorded from this time period. Come in person or online and find out why each day is called holy, not just Holy Thursday and Good Friday.

Topic: Doctor's of the Catholic Church

Each month we poll our Merlot with the Messiah friends as to what topic they would most like discussed at our next session. February’s chosen topic will be the ‘Doctor’s of the Catholic Church’.
What does it take to be a Doctor of the Church? Why is the term ‘doctor’ used to describe someone who has made a significant contribution of the understanding of our faith? How many ‘Doctors’ are there in the Catholic Church?
Join us Monday, February 22nd at 7:00 pm in the Social Hall as we explore the ’Doctors of the Church’.
