2018 Dr. Edward SriAs the Church struggles with the unsettling crisis of clerical abuse of chldren and young adults, it might be helpful to open two FORMED.org programs that deal with the problem of evil and sin in the world, the need for repentance and the grace of God's mercy and forgiveness.  The first is Edward Sri's Who Am I to Judge? and the second is Jimmy Akin's The Problem of Evil.  While these programs do not heal directly with the current crisis, they do lay the groundwork for our understanding of the frailty of human nature, the dangers of sin without repentance, and God's love for all, saints and sinners alike.

If you have registered as a FORMED user, you can find links to these programs by using the search function on the FORMED homepage.  If you haven't registered yet, just type FORMED.org into your browser, enter the parish's code - CNT7WK - on the homepage, and create a password for your continued use of the website.
Mountain TopSometimes, the best place to see the future is on a mountain top.  That's where lawyer turned preacher Mike Andrews (McLaughlin) life changed, and he has no intention of going back.  The last thing he wants to do is return to the courtroom and represent an eccentric old man whose mind is filled with obscure visions and confusing dreams.  But when Sam Miller's (Corbin) visions get personal, Mike discovers there are paths that lead higher than earthly mountains.  And roads more dangerous than an icy hairpin turn on a moonless night. Coby Ryan McLaughlin and Barry Corbin lead an all-star cast including Lin Shaye, Valerie Azlynn, Bob Gunton and Rachel Hendrix in this exciting legal thriller based on the best-selling novel by Robert Whitlow.  Snacks and drinks will be provided.  Bring your friends and attend Movie Night, hosted by the Knights of Columbus.  The Movie Night is Thursday, September 27, at 6:00 p.m. in the Lower Hall.  See you there!
