WEDNESDAY DISCUSSION SERIES
Gaudium et spes teaches that the church “travels the same
journey as all of humanity and shares the same earthly lot with the
world...the church then believes that through each of its members and its
community as a whole it can help to make the human family and its history
still more human.” Catherine Wolff will lead a discussion on Catholic
Social Teaching, the principles for Faithful Citizenship, and the activist
spirituality of working for the kingdom here on earth. Please join us in
the seminar room on the third floor of the Old Union from 7:30 to 9PM
Wednesday, May 21.

HEALTH CARE CRISIS
Half of all Americans have inadequate health insurance and 47 million have

improve health care access and affordability? Join us on Sunday, June 1,
at 7 pm for “A Catholic Response to the Crisis in Affordable Health
Care,” given by S. Joan Steadman, CSC, Associate Director of Health
Care Ethics for the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara

Hall, 160 N. Rengstorff Ave., Mountain View. For more information contact
