How to Be Good: Reflections on Pope Francis’s Amoris Laetitia, led by Jon Stotts Saturday, November 12, 9 a.m. - 12 noon in the West Wing of the Parish Center. RSVP by November 7 to joceline.lemaire@ctk.org or call 615-292-2884. Pope Francis’s 2016 Amoris Laetitia asks Catholics to take greater responsibility for making sound ethical and moral choices. But “morality” is a complicated term, theologically and historically. This three hour morning of reflection, based primarily on chapters 6 and 7 of the pope’s exhortation, explores morality not as a list of rules but as possibilities for valuable action created in the midst of our personal, family, and cultural contexts. Through a series of conversations and exercises, we will reflect on how Pope Francis's moral vision helps us to see our lives as open-ended stories of risk, worth, and redemption

Parishioner, John Cain Carter, commutes from Nashville to Brazil working with landowners to care for the land and conserve the Amazonian frontier. He will speak on Sunday, October 2, from 9:45 - 10:45 in the Celebration Room of the school. All are welcome.

September 1 was proclaimed as the World Day of Prayer for Creation by the Orthodox Church in 1989 and many other Christian Church have joined since then with Pope Francis most recently in 2015. It was then extended to be a month-long Season of Creation, ending on October 4, the Feast of St. Francis. We are asked to make a special effort pray for and take practical steps to protect the environment during this season. See Pope Francis' Prayer for our Earth on the website.
