Emmaus This Thursday - Jan 31, Catholic Church's teaching on contraception

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

This Thursday, January 31, we will have our spiritual director, Fr Ed Murphy, speak to us about the Catholic Church's stance on contraception. It will be a great opporunity to learn our faith's stance on the subject, especially in lite of the HHS Mandate and other new health care laws. We will be meeting at Assumption Catholic Church in the Family Life Center in room 2A (music Room) at 7pm with the Rosary starting at 6:30.

Hope to see you there,
