November Theology on Tap

Thanks to all who came out for the great Theology on Tap. Pete Cerneka and Erin Simmons did a fabulous job presenting "To Guatemala and Back: Service in the World." Also a big THANK YOU to Oddwalk Ministries' Shannon Cerneka and Orin Johnson who did a fabulous job as emcees.

Pete mentioned in his talk ways for us to be aware of what is happening in the world around us. He told us to ask questions, to educate yourselves and to vote! Below are some links to resources Pete had mentioned, if you were interested.

From the Diocese of St Paul, MN - A good site on Catholic Social Teaching

The League of Women Voters
(This is listed as a good place to start on educating yourself. Please read and take their opinions and examine them with your conscience and with Church teaching.)

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
This is a missionary order whose charism is to serve and bring the Gospel to those who are most abandoned. They also own and operate the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, in Belleville.

I hope many of you will be able to make it to the next Tap. The Title is "Stand, sit or knee?" and discussing our mass and what is happening there. Our liturgy is rooted in tradition and ritual that is truley beautiful, but often feels routine or even "boring." Come be reminded or learn for the first time what is going on during mass!

December 11, 6:30 gather and get settled with a drink and something to eat.
7pm - speakers Jared Ainsworth-Bryson and Orin Johnson will "wow" you with their knowledge of liturgy!

Have a great Thanksgiving!
