PASTOR’S CORNER Sunday, December 25, 2016

Saints. Ar sts. Mys cs. Scholars.

Bishop Robert Barron's CATHOLICISM series, an epic ten part documentary, took people around the world and deep into the Catholic Faith. The series aired on PBS and has been seen by millions.

But there is s ll more of the story to tell. Bishop Barron is on a new journey to unlock the truth behind the Catholic Church's most influen al people. CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players is a mul -part film series that illumines a handful of saints, ar sts, mys cs, and scholars who not only shaped the life of the Church but changed the course of civiliza on. Tuesday evenings in January and February at Saint Paul Family Life Center beginning January 10th at 6:30pm.

Seven sessions conducted by Father Tully and Father Schuetz. A video based discussion group and open ques on me for a quality Catholic learning experience.

The first “semester” from January 10 to February 21 will cover the following 3 fascina ng “Pivotal Players”:

ST. FRANCIS The Reformer

Rebuild my Church! That’s the mission Christ gave to St. Francis and it’s the perennial task of the Church in every age of its life. But how is the reform and renewal of the Church to be accomplished? The life of St. Francis demonstrates that Christ intends the founda ons of true and las ng reform to be built on the solid rock that is the radical witness of the saints.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS The Theologian

The rela onship of faith and reason is under intense scru ny in an age beholden to the compe ng claims of fundamentalism and secularism. So called “new atheists” insist that the claims of religion amount to mere supers on, a retrograde holdover from a me long ago. Others insist that the life of faith is a retreat into emo ons and subjec vism. St. Thomas Aquinas an cipated these objec ons and trends and demonstrated that to believe is to think and that the life of the mind is integral to life in Christ.

Tuesday evenings, 6:30-8:00 pm, January 10 through February 21, 2017

JOHN HENRY NEWMAN The Convert

Is there any truth in ma ers of religion? Should the Church simply retreat in the face of the challenges of culture? John Henry Newman came into the Church as a convert and used his prodigious intellectual gi s to help the Church be er understand its iden ty and mission and engage the challenges of a secular age.
