Powerful testimony, insightful conversation, delicious food, fellowship.
Our Dinner Panel on Courage this past Tuesday was a huge success.
Our panelists included:
- Kenny Miller, attorney, who showed us what it looks like to take a leap of faith in your career and not be afraid to be authentically Catholic in the workplace
- Sr Elma Calajatan, Sister of Mt Carmel, who reminded us that the ONLY thing that remains forever is our relationship with God, so do not be afraid to do His will.
- Dr. Angela Parise, OB-GYN physician, told us her story of unwavering commitment to Catholic morals in the face of unremitting opposition and persecution, and reminded us the only way forward is not by mustering personal strength, but by relying solely of the immense love of Jesus and His grace.
- Noel Marcantel, commercial and portrait photographer, business owner, and US Marine, who reminded us that courage and fortitude is a muscle that must be exercised on a regular basis in little ways to be prepared for the bigger challenges in life.
Our generous sponsors Zuppardos Family Market made it possible to have a delicious meal to enhance our fellowship and conversation.
Until next year’s panel!
