Trivia Night!

7 Jan trivia night

Saints SkyBar (2nd Floor)

We’re taking a little change of pace this time around for LYC so we can have a whole night to enjoy getting to know each other a little better while challenging ourselves to a bit o’ Catholic trivia! Saints has a great menu of pizza, sandwiches, salads, and some good brews on tap, so bring a friend or two and we’ll get some teams together and battle it out.

Facebook event posting here if you wish to RSVP, invite Mark Zuckerberg, the Pope, etc. Or email us louisvilleyoungcatholics@yahoo.com

Contradicting Contraception

8 Dec

Tues, Dec 13 @ 7PM
Saints SkyBar (2nd Floor)
131 Breckenridge Ln, 40207

Pope Paul VI’s Encyclical “Humanae Vitae” marked the beginning of widespread dissent among clergy and laypeople from what we like to call “official” Church teaching (thus distancing our Catholic identity from any craziness we might prefer to ignore). It’s safe to say most practicing Catholics who believe the sacraments, attend Mass on Sunday and Holy Days, go to Confession, and all that external stuff, find this little Pill too tough to swallow. Yet despiteĀ  social and media pressure, and the remnant of Catholics who actually believe and practice this crazy teaching, it hasn’t changed. In fact, it hasn’t changed in 2,000 years (the Pill was far from the first contraception, but it was the first effective contraception). Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body shed more light on many controversial issues like this one, and people like Christopher West and Fr. Thomas Loya have helped spread awareness and understanding about JPII’s philosophy.

Thus, Louisville’s own Jenny Hutchinson will join us next Tuesday to tackle this topic, answer your questions, and engage some great discussion! And you’ve got a few links up there to get educated over the weekend :)
