Ted is organizing Carpooling to the district meeting in Canby on August 15th.  Meet at St Clare's Office Parking Lot by 7:15am.  Expect to return to St Clare's by 1pm. Announcement from Brothers In The Spirit: My brothers all In part due to a scheduling conflict with the District Meeting Next week in Canby, Week 3 will be delayed until August 22nd. The topic will be finding grace in our local parish and diocese regardless of what is going on in the rest of the world. 11 days ago, Archbishop Sample covered exactly this topic on his podcast in response to the autoexcommunication of the SSPX.  I realize it's a big ask, in this day and age of short attention spans, to set aside 48 minutes in our busy lives to listen to a podcast.   But I urge you to do it anyway, sometime before August 22nd, and join us in our discussion on that day, two weeks from today.   https://youtu.be/kOagN59BQz0? si=4yqKfesMVp_-Mctl Ted

  Honored Clergy and My Brothers All, I want to invite you to the first gathering in a four-week class on a difficult but deeply important topic: what happens when people begin to lose faith in religion because of the sins, failures, scandals, hypocrisy, or abuses of religious leadership. This first week is working under the title “Black-Pilling Week One—Satanic Masterpiece On Both Sides of the Spectrum.” The title is intentionally stark, because the experience itself can feel stark: a person sees real evil, real betrayal, or real corruption among those who claim to speak for God, and the temptation is to conclude that the whole thing is rotten. Some react by hardening into cynicism. Others react by defending the institution so fiercely that they can no longer hear the wounded. Both responses can pull us away from truth, charity, repentance, and hope.    If you have not watched it yet, the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/DhAZZGECvtc is what led me to tackle th...
