Ready for our next V & V?
Our first event was amazing! About 50 people braved the rain and the dark winter January night to gather with many new-found friends to pray (complete with processing, silence, bowing, and chanting), drink abundant wine, sodas, and juices, taste exquisite desserts (those macaroons were heavenly!), and to engage in a lively conversation with Tom Beaudoin on what it means to have an adult faith (being able to see God's hand at work in the big and small interruptions of life) and how our spending habits can be an expression of that faith.
We're doing it again to celebrate God's springtime and to pray for our earthly home.
Spend Earth Day evening with three of God’s best gifts. We’ll begin with Evening Prayer followed by an intimate conversation with our guest speaker about faith and daily life as we savor delicious desserts and fine wine.
Our guest speaker for this evening is Robert Brancatelli. Robert is a theologian, faculty member at Santa Clara University, and the author of Pilgrimage as a Rite of Passage for Youth. His research has led him to study Hispanic popular theology and ritual, as well as liturgy, catechetics, and spirituality. He travels regularly to El Salvador to study different models of catechesis and plans to develop a new model of liberation catechetics on the basis of his experiences in Latin America.
These interactive evenings feature prominent Catholics talking about how they live their faith through the real events of contemporary life in the Silicon Valley. Young adults over 21 and those very much over-21 are especially invited.
