Young Adults Urban Catholic Lord’s Day - Sunday, February 26, 4-7 Increasingly it seems that our fellow young adults are looking to political philosophies and ideologies to shape their worldview and thus political movements—and their figureheads—can become their prominent sources of hope (and despair). Fortunately, we Catholics al-ready have a Savior and a worldwide movement in which to place our faith and our hope: Jesus Christ and his Church. Join us next Sunday for Lord’s Day, an opportunity to worship God, be formed in the mind of the Church, and build up meaningful relationships with other Catholic young adults. Confessions are available beginning at 4pm, Fr. Byron’s presentation, “Politics and Christian Community” is at 4:30, mass is at 5, and a social hour will follow. #jointhemovement
