Dear Parents and Outcry Students,
I'm looking forward to
Outcry this Sunday 6:00 - 8:00 PM in the Great Hall! It is going to be a fun and exciting year!!!
I also wanted to invite you to check out the webinars the Diocese offers on Theology of the Body. I will be hosting one this Tuesday from 10:30 - 11:30 AM on "Pornography and Sexual Addiction." Please see link below to sign up.

VERY important that parents and teens attend. You would not believe what is going on and you will learn soooo much:
What: Several churches in Lake Travis are partnering with
Partners Against Child Trafficking, P.A.C.T, to host an event called
“What’s Porn Got to Do with It?” The purpose of the event is to start a conversation in our community to shed light on the hidden darkness of pornography. The event will help educate families and offer hope so that we can face this problem together.
Why: Pornography is a community-wide issue. Whether directly or indirectly, we believe every family is impacted by pornography. Not only are families hurting, but pornography feeds human trafficking. So collectively, we are calling churches to step into this space and help families see this issue with God’s hope and grace.
When: Sunday, September 30th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at The Lakeway Church. The first hour you will hear from a panel of subject matter experts on the latest brain research, issues, causes, and hope surrounding this topic. The second hour our panelists and other subject matter experts will lead breakouts for students, parents, men, and women.
Who: This event is open to the community. The content is designed for parents, grandparents, students, men, and women. We recommend the event for middle school and high school age students.
