The September Faithful Questions is almost here! It’s next Tuesday September 21st at 7 PM. The topic is “What does the Church teach about vaccines?”
The Covid-19 vaccine has re-ignited questions about the morality of vaccines. In this talk we’ll walk through all the various issues, both in general and the Covid-19 vaccine specifically. We’ll further discuss what the Church teaches and what we leave to the scientific community to answer.
Like last month, this will be a dual in-person and live-stream event. For those in the Roseville area, you can come in-person and have the level of interaction and comradery that can only be had in person. For those who are far away or otherwise can’t make it to St. Clare in Roseville, never-fear, we’re keeping the live-stream to watch either live or after the fact.
So, we’ll see you at 7 PM in the Morris Hall at St. Clare or we’ll see you online… click on the below link to watch the talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7vYkr-K9yM

March 2021 Faithful Questions Survey – Topic: Adult children
The March Faithful Questions is almost here! It’s next Tuesday at 7 PM. The topic is “How can I bring my adult children back to the Church?”
Many of us have children who have stopped practicing our faith or worse, left it entirely. And to add insult to injury, too frequently our attempts to talk to our children are counter-productive and end up pushing them further from the Church. In this talk, Deacon Ken will do his best to give an entirely new framework for how we can more productively re-evangelize our adult children.

Once you’ve had a chance to watch the December Faithful Questions talk about Faith and Science, please take the Satisfaction Survey:
The December Faithful Questions is a week early this month, to avoid the Holy Day of Obligation and Solemnity for the Immaculate Conception of Mary on the 8th. (For clarity, the obligation is abrogated this year due to COVID-19.)
Thus this Month, Faithful Questions will be on Tuesday December 1st at 7:00 PM. The topic is “Is there a conflict between Faith and Science?”
Many of us struggle with whether there are conflicts between science and our faith. Are there scientific discoveries that are at odds with our Faith? If so, how am I to resolve that conflict? The talk aims to both put your mind at ease and help you better understand how our faith and scientific research can work together for the betterment of humanity.

On Tuesday October 13th we will have our next first Faithful Questions talk. Here are the details:
Title: How should I decide who to vote for?
Summary:
With another contentious election just weeks away, many Catholics are unsure who they should vote for. Various voices within the Church give different answers. And so we are left to wonder, is there an official answer from the Church? And if not, how should our faith guide us when we are making our choices? In this talk, Deacon Ken will use the official documents of the Church to help answer these questions.
