Saint Francis de Sales welcomes Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers to speak at our area Men's Cookout. Bible Catholic Deacon Harold Burke-Sivers will discuss how the Christian family, under the spiritual leadership of husbands and fathers both in the home and in the parish, is a communion of persons in the image and likeness of the Trinity, and a sacred sign and living sacrament of Christ’s love for his Church.
Bring your sons, fathers, grandfathers, uncles and friends and enjoy a cookout prepared by the Knights of Columbus. Deacon Burke-Sivers is from Portland,Oregon and a powerful and passionate evangelist, author of "Behold the Man: A Catholic Vision of Male Spirituality." Come be inspired!

Steubenville Conference: Revealed
July 20th-22nd in Steubenville, Ohio
We live in a world where there are voices shouting at us from all sides, trying to tell us who we are and who we aren’t, who we should be and who we shouldn’t be. If we pay too much attention to these voices, it won’t be long before we forget our true identity altogether.
But amidst all the noise is our loving Father, who wants to make Himself known to us and speak the truth about who we are. God’s love is deeper and His plan for our lives is greater than anything the world has to offer – will we allow Him to reveal it to us?
This summer, over 50,000 Catholic teens across North America will participate in 25 Steubenville Youth Conferences, and we want you to be one of them! Come experience the love of God in a new and more profound way. He has so much in store for you.
Contact Ed Watson for more information--hurry, space is limited!
