Parents, the ChristLife series isn't currently being offered at St. Martin, but please visit the Archdiocesan website for more information on this wonderful program.  Zoom classes are being offered, so please look into this opportunity.  Below is an earlier email describing the program when it was offered at St. Martin.

Folks, if you've been waiting for the opportunity to attend Discovering Christ, now is the time to register at www.itsworthasking.org.  This seven week course on Sundays from Sept 9 to Oct 28 from 5:30 PM to 8 PM at Our Lady of Lourdes High School is FREE and FREE childcare will be offered so that young parents can easily attend.  There is a FREE dinner from Cosimo's each night, too!  What a deal!

Please let me know if you decide to register since I'd like to keep count of all CYO participants who plan to attend.

As I've shared with many of you via emails or in person, the ChristLife series Discovering / Following / Sharing Christ (www.christlife.org) will change your life forever as you come to understand the true meaning of life!  My wife and I experienced this series for the first time back in 2009 and our lives haven't been the same since.  If you've been enjoying the daily Word of God emails, then this course is a perfect compliment to continually build your personal relationship with Jesus Christ.  I didn't know what I didn't know about my Catholic faith until I took this series and as a result, I refocused my life in ways that I probably wouldn't have done otherwise.

What is the meaning of life?  It’s the question we all ask at some point.  Sometimes it feels like we’re just going through the motions, day after day, week after week. Some of us think we’ll find the answer through relationships, material things, or success.  But even if we attain these, we still have an inner sense that something’s missing. We may even try to do spiritual things, but it never seems to truly fill the void.  Discovering Christ is for everyone aged 18 and up who is curious about the meaning of life.   Whether you go to church faithfully every Sunday - or haven’t been in a church in years - we welcome you.  Over the course of 7 weeks we’ll serve you a delicious catered dinner by Cosimo's of Poughkeepsie and then you’ll hear an interesting and thought-provoking talk that is designed to explore the meaning and purpose of your life.  After each talk, you’ll get a chance to share your thoughts in a small group.  You can talk as much or as little as you want, and it’s all done in a warm, friendly, judgement-free environment!

I hope to see you at OLL in September!

God bless,

Chris
