Jesuits Come and See Weekend
February 11 - 13, 2022 In the Gospel of John, when Jesus meets his first disciples he asks them “what are you looking for?” They wanted to know where he was staying, so Jesus replied “Come and See.” He then invited them to stay with him for a brief time, but it was enough for them to know that they were going to give up everything and follow him. That’s why a Come and See Weekend is a must for anyone seriously discerning their vocation. Dominican Come and Sees are a sixty-four hour immersion experience into the very rhythm of religious life. Much like the first disciples, a Come and See often provides that “gut” experience which offers the visceral clarity that is the goal of discernment and the only true test of whether or not your home is here. Join us in Minneapolis, MN for a weekend of discernment, faith and fellowship! For more information, see: https://www.opvocations.org/come-and-see ***To register for the Spring Come & See (February 11 - 13, 2022), please contact Fr. Samuel Hakeem, O.P., at vocations@opcentral.org |

Theology on Tap Week 1
Wednesday, January 19, 2022 Social hour: 6:30 PM, Speaker: 7:30 PM Flahertys Arden Bowl, 1273 County Rd E, Arden Hills, MN 55112 (map) “We must love both those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject. For both have labored in the search for truth, and both have helped us in the finding of it.” - St. Thomas Aquinas In this contentious time, this quotation is challenging. Do I really believe that the person who has a different opinion than I do on a topic I really care about has “labored in the search for truth”? Do I really believe that such a person has actually helped me find what I consider to be truth? Dr. Catherine Deavel from the University of St. Thomas will help us understand how we can disagree with those whom we love in order to build stronger relationships instead of driving each other away. Theology on Tap is back! Join us at Flaherty’s in Arden Hills for pizza, beer, fellowship, and spiritual nourishment. Love & Disagreement Wednesday, January 19th - Dr. Catherine Deavel (From The University of St. Thomas) Engaging with Pro-Choice Arguments Wednesday, January 26th - Emily Albrecht (From Equal Rights Institute) Faithful Citizenship Wednesday, February 2nd - Ryan Hamilton (From MN Catholic Conference) Grill the Priest Wednesday, February 16th - Father John Ubel (Rector, Cathedral of St. Paul) |
MSP Catholic started with the realization that there are so many amazing Catholic things happening in the Twin Cities...but they aren't always that easy to find.
This is where it all comes together so that it's easier to get involved, find out what's going on outside of your network, and invite others to join you. Our hope is to centralize and amplify the great things our groups, parishes, and individuals are doing. Do we have everything on our site? No, but we're making connections and adding new things all the time. YOU can be a huge asset in that. If there's something that our audience needs to know about, please drop us a note so we can get more people involved in the great work of our Catholic community. MSP Catholic is an initiative run by CEND - the Center for Evangelization and Discipleship - whose mission is to help all Young Adults find a home in a Catholic parish. This website is only half of the story of what we do. Click below to find out more. Click Here for Link to MSP Catholic Website |
