Each year we try to focus on a particular theme and plan
talks and meetings related to it. This year we would like to focus on the
Beatitudes. Among other things, Richard Rohr’s book Jesus’ Plan for a New World: The Sermon on
the Mount will be used as a
resource. We want to reflect on the Beatitudes for discerning ways leading to
the conversion of ourselves, our Church and society.

LET’S RECAP CTA with SNAP sponsored a day event
with author, journalist and film producer Jason Berry on March 24th. He presented his powerful documentary film,
“Vows of Silence”, which is also the title of his book.
The film highlights the life of
Father Marcial Maciel through personal, interviews of ex seminarians and
priests who were sexually abused by Father Marcial Maciel, while seminarians
