SUMMARY:Life and Dignity: A Catholic Social Teaching Series
DESCRIPTION:The core of our Catholic Social Teaching is Human Dignity\, which teaches that life is sacred\, the most sacred gift from God.  Life has value regardless of circumstances.  It is the Church’s mission to keep life precious and protect it from all harm and sin that might endanger it. \nIn our current modern society\, the culture of life has been transformed into a culture of death.  Life is often not seen as a value in itself\, but the value of life decreases depending on the needs of others. \nIn this talk we will be presenting on the need to hold life sacred\, especially with the dangers of modern society that include topics of Assisted Suicide\, IVF\, Abortion\, and the Death Penalty. \nPlease join us for an evening of informed awareness of our Church’s teachings.  Register here.  \n\nSeptember 10 – Dignity of Work\nNovember 19 – God’s Creation\n\n

SUMMARY:Faithful Citizenship - A Virtual Catholic Theological Conference
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday September 16th & Thursday September 17th – 4pm-6:30pm PT\nFeaturing:\nArchbishop John C. Wester of the Diocese of Santa Fe\nDr. Maria J. Stephan of Horizons Project\nCatholic teaching does not baptize any particular model of democracy.  For decades\, however\, Catholic teaching has embraced democratic governance as the best way of institutionalizing the core values at the heart of Catholic teaching: human dignity\, religious freedom\, shared public life\, and the participation of all in the civic sphere. \nThis Catholic embrace of democratic governance leads the Church to encourage citizens to participate fully in electoral processes\, speak out for fair and transparent elections\, and call people to respect electoral outcomes. \nThis webinar brings responsible voices of Catholic ecclesial leaders and scholars to bear on the upcoming US elections. By understanding the current moment within a worldwide context and offering practical tools for promoting fair elections\, the webinar will empower Catholic leaders—homilists\, liturgical ministers\, teachers\, as well as bishops\, priests\, religious\, and deacons—to speak faithfully and prayerfully into the polarization surrounding the upcoming elections. \nPanel Topics Include:\n\nThe Church in a Global Context of Fragile Democracies: Brazil\, Philippines\, Hungary\, Guatemala & the US\nThe Church’s Evolving Relationship to Democracy: From Rejection to Embrace to Continued Imagination of New Models\nTruth through Noise: Media\, AI and the Struggle for Practical Wisdom Grounded in the Faith\nThe Challenge of Catholic Homiletics & Leadership Amid Polarization: Empowering Parish\, School and Apostolic Leaders to be both Prophetic and Reconciling.\nVoter Support as Pastoral Practice- practical strategies to help youth & marginalized communities exercise their call to participation.\nMinistering amidst a Renewed Crisis of Electoral Participation: The repeal of voting rights\, new targeting of immigrants and impact on Catholic communities.\n \n\nEvent Web – Registration here.

SUMMARY:Faithful Citizenship - A Virtual Catholic Theological Conference
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday September 16th & Thursday September 17th – 4pm-6:30pm PT\nFeaturing:\nArchbishop John C. Wester of the Diocese of Santa Fe\nDr. Maria J. Stephan of Horizons Project\nCatholic teaching does not baptize any particular model of democracy.  For decades\, however\, Catholic teaching has embraced democratic governance as the best way of institutionalizing the core values at the heart of Catholic teaching: human dignity\, religious freedom\, shared public life\, and the participation of all in the civic sphere. \nThis Catholic embrace of democratic governance leads the Church to encourage citizens to participate fully in electoral processes\, speak out for fair and transparent elections\, and call people to respect electoral outcomes. \nThis webinar brings responsible voices of Catholic ecclesial leaders and scholars to bear on the upcoming US elections. By understanding the current moment within a worldwide context and offering practical tools for promoting fair elections\, the webinar will empower Catholic leaders—homilists\, liturgical ministers\, teachers\, as well as bishops\, priests\, religious\, and deacons—to speak faithfully and prayerfully into the polarization surrounding the upcoming elections. \nPanel Topics Include:\n\nThe Church in a Global Context of Fragile Democracies: Brazil\, Philippines\, Hungary\, Guatemala & the US\nThe Church’s Evolving Relationship to Democracy: From Rejection to Embrace to Continued Imagination of New Models\nTruth through Noise: Media\, AI and the Struggle for Practical Wisdom Grounded in the Faith\nThe Challenge of Catholic Homiletics & Leadership Amid Polarization: Empowering Parish\, School and Apostolic Leaders to be both Prophetic and Reconciling.\nVoter Support as Pastoral Practice- practical strategies to help youth & marginalized communities exercise their call to participation.\nMinistering amidst a Renewed Crisis of Electoral Participation: The repeal of voting rights\, new targeting of immigrants and impact on Catholic communities.\n \n\nEvent Web – Registration here.
