FOCUS Pancake Breakfast
Sunday, November 15 following 11:00am mass
Missionaries and students will be holding a pancake breakfast in the basement of the Oratory after the 11 am Mass, replacing the usual bagels and doughnuts. We will be serving eggs, sausage, and pancakes and the price is $5 per person or $12 per family. We are fundraising in order to take students to the FOCUS National Conference held in Orlando, FL from Dec. 30, 2009-Jan. 3, 2010. We will be joining five thousand other college students and 250 missionaries for five days full of some of the most well-known Catholic speakers, entertainment, prayer, and daily Sacraments. Help us to change the lives of students on campus! For more information, contact Ashton Mallon at amallon@focusonline.org or (301)-704-0048.

The class is being taught by Dr. Damon McGraw, PhD. and is on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5:00 from January 5- April 22.  It will be held in the conference room in the Newman Center.

The goal of the course will be to introduce students to a scholarly consideration of the Christian Faith.  The course will discuss the historical developments and impact of the Faith, while discovering by reason and revelation how we come to know the true power and will of God.  Attention will also be given to the Christian understanding of the human person, his nature and destiny.

This course is offered through Duquesne University so the proper cross-registration paperwork will need to be filled out; talk to your academic adviser if you’re interested. The primary text for this course will be the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the documents of the Second Vatican Council.   Contact Fr. Mike (412)681-3181 or Prof. Damon McGraw (412)681-4375, with any questions.  Pamphlets on the class are available at the Newman Center or below as a downloadable PDF and contain further information about it.
