Lunch And Learn: Faithful Citizenship

Thursday, September 19, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM | Dining Room

Why does Pope Francis say that a good Catholic “meddles” in politics?  Why does he call it one of the highest forms of charity?  What does the Church mean when she calls us to be “faithful citizens”?  And what about the separation of church and state?  Jason Adkins’ presentation will offer a brief introduction about what politics is and is not, and why our participation in social and political life is a call of discipleship and, for some, a particular calling, or vocation.  He will share why it matters, how we do so effectively, and the toolbox of principles (Catholic Social Teaching) we bring into public life to build a civilization of love.

Jason Adkins is the executive director of the Minnesota Catholic Conference, the public policy voice of the Catholic Church in Minnesota, which serves to uphold life, dignity, and the common good.

Our Lunch and Learn is free and RSVP's are encouraged to the Parish office at 952-929-3317.

Young Professionals Monthly Holy Hour

First Thursday of Every Month

Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Location: Our Lady of Grace, Edina

Young professionals (ages 21 - 35) gather for an hour of Adoration, Confessions, and song. A light social in the Commons follows.

"Attending ‘Holy Hour at OLG’ was a breath of fresh air! Dozens of candles lit up the Church and surrounded the monstrance as we gathered together. For an hour we lifted up our voices in song and our hearts in prayer. I felt at home with this group of young professionals praising and worshipping our Lord. Fr. Kevin graciously made himself available for confessions, staying until the last person was finished. After our time of prayer, song, and meditation, we were invited to the Commons for a social. Beer, Wine, Seltzers, and snacks were available while we were able to connect with friends and other young professionals." ~ Elizabeth Felsheim, OLG Young Professional/Parishioner
