February 2008 Breakfast Meeting - Saturday 02/09/08

In honor of our spouses and with deep respect for the Sacrament of Matrimony, OLR Catholic Men's Fellowship is teaming up with World Wide Marriage Encounter to host an introduction to the Marriage Encounter Weekend. Ginny & Boon Hazboun will be our guest speakers, representing Marriage Encounter in the Los Angeles area. There are many couples in our parish who have benefited from this very powerful experience and many more who have not. All couples are invited to learn and to share how the Marriage Encounter movement is helping to turn good marriages into great marriages. Please join us on Saturday, February 9th, starting with the 8:00 am Mass, followed by breakfast and a presentation on the Marriage Encounter Experience.

January 2008 Breakfast Meeting - Saturday 01/12/08

For our January gathering, we will be hosting an open forum discussing a wide range of topics concerning our Catholic faith. The world we live in grows more complex each day. The fields of science, politics, economics, ethics and the environment present each of us with new and challenging decisions and choices which impact our lives and the lives of our families. What answers does our shared faith have for these questions? How should our Catholic faith inform our choices? Where is God in the mix? We have assembled a panel to respond to the questions you have submitted. The panel consists of Monsignor Bill, Dr. Nick De Los Reyes, and John McGlynn. This will be an open forum, which means that all of the gathered will have the opportunity to add their voices to the insights provided by our panelists. As always, we will start with Mass at 8 AM, and follow up with breakfast at 8:30 AM. Chef Lawrence will again be heading the Breakfast Crew. Come hungry, and bring some friends. Please RSVP to Steve at sshanklin@verizon.net including the number of guests you will be bringing, so that we can plan properly for food.
