2022-07-28 18:30 - 20:30 | St. Gabriel Catholic Church, 5505 Bardstown Rd., Louisville, KY, 40291, United States

* * * * * *

In collaboration with the ArchLou Office of Family & Life Ministries
Family Renewal Project presents
God, Sex, & Science
Decoding the Meaning

What do sex, our bodies, and science reveal about God and His plan for our happiness? Come hear & interact with a variety of experts as they engage one of the central questions of human existence.

MORE INFORMATION BELOW THE GRAPHIC:

God, Sex, & Science: Decoding the Meaning
This very special FREE event is unlike any ever offered in Louisville.
Filled with goodness, truth, & beauty, this event is for young & old, male & female of all ages, single or married, teens to grandparents, teachers, catechists, clergy, religious & laity!

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. – Genesis 1:27
A frequently asked question (usually accompanied by some level of regret or disappointment) is “Why haven’t I ever heard this before?” This event will provide basic information that everyone needs along with the moral and spiritual advantages of living happily in accordance with Church teachings and natural law. Knowing and understanding the science of our bodies leads to greater appreciation of and respect for self as well as femininity and masculinity, empowers young men and young women to make good choices, leads to better overall healthcare, and provides the impetus for all men and women to live virtuously in every stage/state of life. As humans, we cannot fully understand ourselves individually as male or female if we don’t understand the other.
“Knowledge of humanity passes through masculinity and femininity.“ – Pope Francis
Catechist Credit is available for teachers and parish catechists in the Archdiocese of Louisville: 2 credits will apply toward Theology (1 credit in the content area of Family Life and 1 credit in the area of Catholic Beliefs and Practices) *Those seeking credit must register (for all other attendees registration is not required, but very appreciated).

ALL are invited {Teens @ parental discretion}
Thursday, July 28, 2022 @ 6:30 – 8:30PM

$ FREE
* Registration is not required, but very appreciated

The event will begin in the Church. Following the presentation, all presenters will be available in the Narthex for additional conversation. Resource materials will be available {some at no cost, some along with a suggested donation}.

Dear Catholic Women of Louisville,
We are very excited about this NEW ministry that is coming together just for YOU! A chance to meet and mingle with other Catholic women from throughout the Louisville area … women of all ages and stages in life (18+) … to build community as we learn from one another and grow in friendship.

Our Kickoff Brunch was held in June with almost 60 women in attendance. It was a wonderful event and a great start to this new ministry!

Mark your calendar for the 3rd Saturday of each month and watch for details on time, location and format!

The July event falls on Saturday, July 16 — the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, thus the focus will be Carmelite Spirituality (PLUS time for fellowship at the beginning and end).

Father Martin Linebach, Rector of the Cathedral and Co-founder & Chaplain of Family Renewal Project will hear confessions (10-11am) and will perform the official enrollment ceremony into Brown Scapular Confraternity for those seeking the scapular promise. What is that?? Come find out!! [Both Confession and Scapular enrollment are OPTIONAL]

Denese Alexsonshk will be our guest presenter. Denese is relatively new to Louisville and currently serves as the President of the Secular Discalced Carmelite Community of the Holy Spirit in Louisville. See her full bio below.

BIO OF OUR SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER
My Name is Denese Alexsonshk. My husband Edward and I moved to Louisville in 2017 and are members of St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church. We have 2 grown sons and 4 grandchildren.

I was born in Canton, Ohio, the youngest of eight children, raised Catholic, but fell away from the faith during high school. In 1999, through the intervention of Our Blessed Mother, I returned to the faith with an intense love for the Church. Later, that same year while on pilgrimage in Medjugorje, I was given a deep love for God’s Holy priesthood. Soon after, because of their charism of prayer, especially prayer for priests, I became a Secular Discalced Carmelite. Throughout the years I have served in a variety of Parish ministries and prison ministry as well. I also served on the Diocesan Vocation Awareness Committee in Steubenville, Ohio, and as the past President of the Secular Discalced Carmelite Community in Steubenville. I have served on the board of the Marian Center here in Louisville and am currently a member of the Louisville Archdiocesan Marian Committee. Most recently, I am the President of the Secular Discalced Carmelite Community of the Holy Spirit in Louisville, KY.

I look forward to being with you on Our Lady’s Feast Day, July 16!
