Raymond de Souza to offer new series of talks in Winona, MN

This is to invite you and your friends to attend the first talk of the Apologetics program, to be held at the Sacred Heart Cathedral[Winona, MN] on Monday, October 3rd at 7:00 pm.

It is titled, ‘De-Christianization’ and the New Evangelization

It consists of a factual analysis of the process of de-Christianization of the Western Culture as expounded by Pius XI, Pius XII, John Paul II and Benedict XVI in the areas of economy, politics and law, and the corresponding Catholic response: a New Evangelization and Catholic Action.

If you would like to attend it, please ensure that you arrive before 7:00 pm so that it may start and end on time.

It will be followed by three other monthly talks:

November 14thWhat is ‘Good’ and ‘Evil’? And WHO decides? Is it the State? The opinion of the majority? The individual choice? The Bible? An analysis of Natural Law aimed to identify the logical criteria to define the difference between good and evil in daily life.

December 12th - The divinity of Jesus Christ - Does it make sense to believe that a Jewish carpenter who lived in an obscure province of the Roman Empire some 2,000 years ago, who preached a message that was largely refused by his own people and who died like a common criminal between two thieves, was God in the flesh?

January 16thThe Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist – What is present in the tabernacle? A sacred thing? Or a divine Person? Putting logic at the service of the Faith to investigate the meaning Jesus intended to give to His words, ‘This is my Body’.

The Diocese of Winona has begun a dynamic new apologetics program lead by world renowned Catholic apologist Raymond de Souza.  This diocese has been making enormous leaps and bounds in the past year or two.  If you are in the area, these talks will be well worth your time.

Marian Symposium at Guadalupe Shrine

I mentioned it a while back but I got word there is still room at this event.  It's going to be a gorgeous time of the year to visit the Shrine with the autumn leaves and all that jazz.  Plus it is very significant to have Bishop Ricken as the main celebrant and the special connection Wisconsin shares with Our Lady.  That is not to even mention the star studded lineup.  The Marian Symposium the past few years has been thee event to attend at the Shrine for myself.
