We appreciate Fr. Mike for starting day 2 of our Parish Mission out with a powerful prayer. Karlo gave a wonderful talk this morning that increased our understanding of Peter as the first Pope, the succession of popes, and the role of the Pope as the leader of the universal Catholic Church. Karlo answered several good questions and stayed to answer others afterward. We look forward to more talks that will help us all to be better disciples of Christ:
Tonight, May 20:
6:30 PM ~ Religion: Why Should I Care
It’s often said that what folks need (especially teenagers and young adults) a reason to care about religion in the first place. Inasmuch as happiness is linked to religion, it becomes clear why religion matters.
7:50 PM ~ Cajun Accordionist to Cajun Apologist: The Life Testimony of a Cradle Catholic
Karlo will share his story of how he left a promising musical career in Southern Louisiana to become a Catholic apologist.
Tuesday, May 21:
10:00 AM ~ Bible Blueprint for Marian Dogmas
Karlo gives biblical evidence for the four major Catholic Marian dogmas—namely, her title as Mother of God, her perpetual virginity, her freedom from sin, and her bodily assumption.
6:30 PM ~ Apologetics for an Age of Unbelief
A how-to approach for dispelling the major cultural myths that serve as obstacles to faith.
7:50 PM ~ Meeting the Protestant Challenge
Karlo gives five bible passages that Protestants commonly use to challenge Catholic beliefs and explain how to respond.
Wednesday, May 22:
10:00 AM ~ Miracles: God’s Light in the Darkness of Unbelief
Karlo responds to objections that skeptics give to the possibility of miracles and offer credible historical evidence that miracles have occurred, as in the case of the resurrection of Jesus, and the miracles documented throughout Catholic history.
6:30 PM & 7:50 PM ~ Today's Relativistic Culture through a Catholic Lens
Karlo will help us to understand the Catholic teaching on various relativistic ideologies present in today's society and how to charitably respond to them.

Grade 4 led us in the liturgy at school Mass on Friday am. Fr. Joe presided, and impressed upon the students that our lives are full of relationships of love and sacrifice, and we need to get to know one another to determine what kind of love and sacrifice each person needs.

Montessori students learned about #Baptism this week! Mrs. Bishop re-enacted Baptisms for the class using their hands. The students were all very excited to have a turn & learn about the different symbols including chrism, the shell, a candle, the white garment, & holy water.
