Fork in the Road, Take It!”

in “forks in the road.” There are more than
a few times when the choices that we make during these
years will affect us for the rest of our lives. Come
join us for some practical and effective ways to choose
the road that will lead to genuine fulfillment.
Thursday, September 22: “Road Trip: What Drives
Us Away and Back into the Church”
The journey for us in our 20’s and 30’s is
taken up with a growing quest for a relationship with
Christ and the Church in a more “adult” way.
No longer do we attend Mass because our parents ask
us to; we make the choice to attend. Our faith becomes
our own. Come join us for some enlightening insight
to help us focus on enthusiastically participating in
Church life, rather than merely sitting on the sidelines.
Tuesday, September 27: “Understanding Funky
Catholic Stuff”

about for a long time.

Live With/Without Them: The Quest for Relationships”

Maintaining A Sense of Peace and Balance in Everyday
Life and Work”

Thursday, October 6: “Rags to Riches: Finding
Spirituality in a Material World”
The journey for us in our 20’s and 30’s is

really are and are called to be, in service to others.
Come join us for simple ways that reveal the importance
of developing a spiritual side in the midst of living
in a material world.

Sense of Love, Lust, and God”

Practical Ways to Make Monumental Decisions”

on our future. Come join us as we learn to discern.
