Who Am I to Judge? Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love--Sunday evenings for 8 weeks ending in November. This fall, Adult Faith Formation of St. Mary of the Angels is offering two courses that offer the Church’s answer to the emptiness of a world that insists that each man and woman can make up their own morals and sexuality--this Introduction to Theology of the Body and Who Am I to Judge. As Catholics we are confronted with a popular culture that condemns Church teaching on sexuality and morals as outdated and judgmental. Yet the world that condemns the Church is one of both moral and sexual chaos. In a world lost in the chaos of every man defining himself, the good news of the gospels is that there is meaning to our lives. We offer Intro to Theology of the Body Tuesday evenings (7-8:30) and Friday mornings (10:30-Noon). Who Am I to Judge starts Sept. 17 for 8 sessions- 7-8:30pm. Adults only. See link for details on this course.

Please feel free to invite a sibling or a friend 4th grade and older. Did you ever wonder why altar servers do what they do? In the training we will explain what the different postures, gestures, actions and vessels are and why we use them. By the end of the training, our altar servers will be able to anticipate and understand the different parts of the liturgy. To serve at the holy altar is a great honor at which even the angels tremble.
