de Paul Church in the Msgr. Jamail Family Center Room 208 +
7:00pm
Why can’t women become
priests? Is this something that can
change in the future? Why won’t the
Church get with the times? Do women play
an important role in the Church?
Do you ever wonder how to address these questions adequately? Perhaps you yourself are wondering why the Church teaches what it does. Come by St. Vincent’s for an informative talk and discussion forum. Bring your questions and your own insights to share. We will meet on the last Thursday of the month for June, July and August.
