No such thing as boring theology

Pope John Paul's Theology of the Body... it gets us where we live. He's speaking our language. He's on our page. He's dialed-in.

We had a superb time with Monica Ashour on our "Theology of the Body Weekend." The grace of God was indeed powerful and we had the immense privilege of being present as kids chose to make their lives a beautiful gift.

Up to bat next is Christopher West. Mark your calendars for June 12 at 6:30, as we begin an 8-week series "Into the Heart", an in-depth study of the Theology of the Body. All are welcome.

Our committee is tiny, our parish is small, we know the destination but we don't have a map... we're Magoo-ing our way toward God's perfect plan. Life is good!

Monster Fish


We all have a great heart for teenagers, growing up with pressures on them that we didn't have. Some of the issues they confront have life-and-death consequences. They are subjected to burdens their young souls were never meant to bear. It's like trying to land a 3,500 pound fish on 12-pound test line.

This weekend, we have a chance to give them a hand, by helping them find God's own plan for their lives, a gentle and joyful plan, custom-made for each one.

We would have done this retreat even if we had only one teenager registered; it's that vital. But we get to do it for 21 teenagers (and registration isn't closed yet!) Wonderful things are in store...
