Leave a comment

The Sheenists are group named after Archbishop Fulton Sheen. They meet up in Escondido once a month to consume fine beverages, smoke pipes and talk theology.

On June 17th the Sheenists will be hosting a one day conference, with a number of speakers drawn from the ranks of the Sheenists, and with the keynotes given by Fr. Carl Gismondi and former host of Catholic Answers Live, Mr Patrick Coffin.

I’ve already booked my ticket, but if you have yet to buy yours, I would strongly suggest inviting some friends to go with in order to get the group discount:

Cost of a single ticket: $40
Cost for two tickets: $70 (working out at $35 each)
Cost for three tickets: $90 (working out at $30 each)

Here’s to looking forward to some of the manliest conversations you’ve ever heard!

Patristics Seminar

I recently saw Mike Aquilina (happy birthday!) comment on Facebook that he was just returning from speaking at a conference on the Early Church Fathers. I had no idea that such things existed! How did I not know?!

Anyway, it turns out that there’s an annual Patristics seminar in October at St. Lambert’s Catholic Church near Chicago, Illinois:
