Tuesday’s YAM topic will be: in the world, but not of it–viewing secular media with Christian eyes

We’ll be having a casual discussion of how to evaluate popular entertainment media (e.g. books, movies, TV, music, etc.). You are also invited to bring your favorite books, CDs, and/or DVDs that may help other members grow as Catholics/Christians for an exchange. (Don’t worry, you’ll get them back!)

Date: 05-19-09
Time: 8-9:30

This Tuesday is St. Patrick’s Day.   We  will discuss the saint whom this day is being honored.  I may have a liitle something for everyone who attends.  (Hopefully I will have enough.)
