Just a quick update for everyone...Mass tonight has been moved to a half an hour earlier: 7:00pm because it will be a Requiem Mass for the victims of 11 September 2013. Hope to see you there!
Below you will find this week's events with Quo Vadis:
Wednesday Although the Church teaches that the use of artificial contraception is immoral, at least 70% of self-identified Catholics use some from of artificial birth control. Bl. John Paul II explains why birth control use is not good for the soul...but what effects does birth control have on everything else? Dr. West's talk will focus on ways that science shows us that birth control may not be good for the body, relationships and our environment. This talk is for man and women alike as you will hear how the pill affects men(via the environment) as well as the way men and women interact with one another.
Come THIS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 10 to listen and discuss with Dr. West, the 5th Theology Uncorked speaker, especially if you are on birth control for any reason, or if you just need a few extra tools to add to your understanding of God's plan for our sexuality. She will present her talk,
"The Pill & Pollution: How Birth Control Affects Women & Men".
Originally from Northern Virginia, Diana West grew up in St.Catherine of Siena Parish in Great Falls. After undergraduate studies at the College of William and Mary, she moved to Illinois and completed a PhD in chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Dr. West currently engages in breast cancer research as a post-doctoral fellow at the medical campus of Northwestern University in Chicago. On the side, she is passionate about sharing research regarding birth control and other pro-life issues, and her hobbies include dancing and bowling.
Join us at Blue Star Bistro and Wine Bar (1209 N. Noble) at 6:00 PM for fellowship, food & drinks, and 7:00 PM for the talk followed by a Q&A session. Food and beverages will be available for purchase. After the talk, fellowship will continue as well as the opportunity to purchase food and drinks.
