33 Days to Morning Glory

1/4/2020

 
Encounter Jesus through Mary.
Written by Fr. Michael Gaitley, 33 Days to Morning Glory is a six-week small group journey to draw closer to Jesus through his mother, culminating in consecration to him through Mary. We'll learn what the Church and four great saints - Louis de Montfort, Maximilian Kolbe, Mother Teresa, John Paul II - have to teach us about the power and influence Mary and then how to live as better disciples. Whether you are brand new to the concept of Marian Consecration, or you wish to renew your consecration, you are invited.

The Canaanite Woman

9/25/2018

 

A Model for Mass Goers
Tuesday, September 25
7:00pm
Serra Center
Doors open at 6:30 for refreshments

​For Catholics, the Mass is the source and summit of our faith. It is the place we are expected to encounter the divine, and yet at times we may wonder if God knows, understands or cares about us at all. Sometimes Mass just feels like "the same old thing," and we wonder, "where was God in all that?"

Come join Fr Steve Thoma as he talks about the Canaanite woman's encounter with Jesus, as found in Matthew's Gospel, and why her story might be a good example for us.

Catholics in Conversation: The Clergy Abuse Crisis

8/29/2018

 

Monday, October 29
​& November 5
7:00pm
Santa Barbara room

As we continue to read troubling and shocking details of abuse, cover-up, and the victims’ suffering, feelings of anger, fear, grief, and disbelief emerge.

The aim of Catholics in Conversation is to bring together concerned, thoughtful and committed individuals to discuss difficult topics, listen to one another, seek new perspectives and discover how we can be agents of change. 

Come for an honest conversation in this 2-part series exploring the clergy abuse and cover up crisis:
  • In session 1, participants will listen to one another and begin to articulate questions and key concerns.
  • Session 2 will build on what emerged and will focus on imagining and constructing a path forward. Attending both sessions is highly recommended.

Love is Not Loved: A Readers Theater

2/16/2018

 

Friday, February 16
7:00pm
Serra Center

Pope Francis said, “We Christians are called to contemplate the mystery of Love not loved and to pour out mercy upon the world. On the cross, the tree of life, evil was transformed into good; we too, as disciples of the Crucified One, are called to be “trees of life” that absorb the contamination of indifference and restore the pure air of love to the world.”
 
Sharon and David Hoover from Inscape Ministries presents a readers theater using a short scene from the play, "Francis of Assisi: Face to Face," and storytelling to confront indifference to the sufferings of the world and invite participants to become engaged lovers in a world gone awry.

For more information please contact Teresa Runyon.

PARISH MISSION WITH FR. DANIEL HORAN, OFM

10/20/2017

 

​Discipleship: Becoming Fools for Christ
​October 20-22, 2017

In our contemporary age, Christianity seems like a sensible and straightforward religious option among others. It is often viewed as compatible with the values and priorities of our society, politics, cultures, and other interests. And yet, the Gospel itself offers a very different set of insights, challenges, and inspiration.

This year's parish mission is an invitation to explore the radical foolishness of Christianity as a positive force for change and conversion in the face of division, discrimination, and violence in our world. Looking at the Scripture with new eyes, journeying with wisdom figures like St. Francis of Assisi and Pope Francis, we will reflect on ways to overcome our tendency to 'water down' or domesticate our faith and the message of the Gospel, so that we can respond to Christ's call to be foolish according to the logic of the world and become wise in the eyes of God.
Picture

Daniel P. Horan, OFM, is a Franciscan friar of Holy Name Province of New York, worldwide marathon runner, musician, retreat director, blogger, theology professor, columnist for America magazine and author of several award-winning books, including Dating God.

Get to know more through his website: 
www.danhoran.com 
and YouTube channel:

What is a parish mission?
We take our cars in for periodic oil changes. We see our physicians for an annual physical or wellness check. The same is needed for our spiritual lives, individually and as a faith community, and we can't always get away for a retreat. So a parish mission is that "shot in the arm", that energizing renewal of our personal faith as Jesus' disciples and our parish community's commitment to the Body of Christ.
