Wine and Wisdom, tomorrow 2/1!

We hope you'll come out to Kells tomorrow evening as we continue our winter Wine and Wisdom series with a discussion of "Ecumenism: Interreligious Conversations," with Sr. Joyce Cox, BVM. All are invited to attend the 6:30 pm mass at Christ Our Hope (corner of Stewart and 2nd) before joing us at Kells. Sr. Joyce will start speaking around 7:15 pm, once massgoers have arrived. You are welcome to come early to order food and beverages, and socialize with other young adults. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Thanks, Janet Heva!

We had a great turnout for Wine and Wisdom last night at Kells, and are grateful to Janet Heva, Campus Minister at the UW, for an engaging and thought-provoking presentation on "Dating, Marriage and Sexuality," including a solid introduction on Blessed John Paul II's Theology of the Body. Janet highlighted that a healthy and true embracing of our sexuality is rooted in understanding what it means to be human - from our origins, history and destiny. The spousal analogy of Jesus and the Church, evident throughout Scripture, is also critical to our insistence on the beauty and sanctity of marriage. If you're interested in reading more about Catholic teaching on love and sexuality, Janet recommends books by Christopher West, especially "The Good News about Sex and Marriage" and "Theology of the Body for Beginners."

Please join us next week as our winter 2012 Wine and Wisdom series on "Relationships" continues with Sr. Joyce Cox, BVM, speaks on "Ecumenism: Interfaith Conversations." The presentation and discussion will begin around 7:15 pm at Kells in the upstairs room, after the 6:30 pm Mass at Christ Our Hope. Come have a meal and engage your faith and fellow young adults next Wednesday, February 1st!

Wine and Wisdom

We're glad so many young adults attended our winter 2012 Wine and Wisdom kick-off this week with Sr. Miriam! Her discussion on the role and influence of the saints, and encouragment to seek intentional relationship with one another, is truly relevant in our modern world. If you're interested in further exploration into the lives of the saints, Sr. Miriam recommended "Modern Saints," a two volume work (with pictures) written by Ann Ball. For spiritual guidance, especially in prayer, she suggests works by Fr. Jacques Philipe. Thanks for bringing your energy and great questions to make the evening a powerful experience for all.

Please join us next week at Kells - even if you weren't able to make it to the kick-off! - to hear Fr. Boniface Willard, OP speak on "Friendship." The event will formally begin around 7:15, but feel free to arrive at 7 and socialize. We also hope you'll attend mass at Christ Our Hope (located on the corner of Stewart and 2nd) at 6:30 pm. Hope to see you and your friends there!
