It's been a busy time after an already busy time, and it's time for a bit of rest.
Vino & Vespers gives busy people of faith a place to pray simply (you don't have to plan a thing!), eat and drink well (you don't have to bring any food), and talk candidly about faith, church, and real life (you don't have to prepare any lesson plans or make any handouts!).
And do we have lots to talk about! Gather with other people who love the Church to share your thoughts on the historic events of these past weeks. More than likely, by next Friday we will have a new Pope. Come, pray, listen, and share.
So 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.
