Jesus meets Aristotle

Dear OL of the Assumption Parishioners and Friends; Saint Patrick meets Saint Joseph, and together they study Jesus and Philosophy again. Based upon the great experience over the last two years, I would like to invite you for an evening of good food, fellowship and another lecture on Philosophy and Catholicism on Thursday, March 19, at 6:00 PM in OLA Parish Hall. In addition to a delicious traditional Saint Patrick corn beef and cabbage dinner and delicious Saint Joseph Italian Zeppole di San Giuseppe pastries, we will talk and discuss Epistemology. What can I know? How do I know it? How can I learn it? How do I know it’s true? All these questions are asked by the branch of Philosophy we call Epistemology. In addition of learning about it, we will discuss the classical and non – classical definitions of truth. Why it is important? Just as for catholic believers, as for anybody else, to know what the TRUTH is might be one of the most important questions asked on Good Friday by the Procurator of Judea in Syro – Palestine by the name Pilatus. Qui est veritas? What is the truth? asks Pontius Pilatus, and do you recall what Jesus says about that? I am the way, the truth and the life. Let’s do, then again, some serious critical thinking, as we celebrate St. Patrick and St. Joseph. Dinner will be served at 6:00 PM and lecture and discussion will follow at 6:30 PM. Water, soda and coffee will be available, if you prefer another beverage, please feel free to BYOB. If you plan on attending, RSVP is required by calling Lisa at the parish office or by email lreed@olaffld.org no later than Friday, March13 with your name and the number of people attending. A free will offering will be taking up to help defray the cost of the dinner. All are welcome! I hope to see many of you. And I would like to personally invite our new parishioners from Holy Family/Saint Emery.
