A Cosmic Adventure through Science & Faith

Can science prove that God doesn’t exist? Many prominent scientists seem to think so. But science can only prove things that they can see, hold and quantify. Science can’t prove love and science doesn’t have a way to quantify grace or forgiveness both of which can change a life. We will take 2 weeks and explore how God reveals God’s Self to humanity through the cosmic intersection of science AND faith!

On Sunday, October 28th our meeting will be held at Holy Ghost Cemetery & Nellis Center where we will be walking to the cemetery, then we’ll head into the Nellis Center for doughnuts, hot cocoa & discussion about death, grief and our hope of eternal life. While we’re at the cemetery we will have a skit that will help us think about the real meaning of the Gospel in our lives (death & resurrection, remember?).

Please dress warmly and bring your own flashlight! Parents are needed & welcome walk with the group & are welcome to participate in the whole evening. Permission slips (below) are required.

The St Pius X youth are invited to come together at St Pius School on Veterans Day (Monday, Nov 12, 9-Noon) to make apple pies to give as a Thank You to a Veteran. Each teen will bring the ingredients for 1 pie and we’ll work together to make pies to thank Veterans for their service. Do you know a vet? You can take your pie home & give it to them. Don’t know a Vet? Help deliver pies to the VFW in Chili!
