This series of conversations seeks to place Christ at the center of the difficult issues facing our culture. We will provide helpful insight on engaging these topics from a Catholic perspective and offer an opportunity to see how the truth revealed by Christ is both a challenge and a source of joy.

We will discuss abortion, same-sex attraction, transgenderism, political extremism, and where the Gospel is present in all of these issues today.
