The dignity of human life is being called into question every day in our world on every level. All that we believe and hold true as Christians has become countercultural and human life has now become a commodity with a monetary value.
Our throwaway society disposes of life when it becomes inconvenient, costly or politically incorrect. We are challenged to make choices about the value of the human person as technology and consumerism reach new and unprecedented heights.
TRASHED! is a virtual event that celebrates human life and its connectedness to the Earth as our common home.
Sunday, November 21, from 7- 8 PM
Trashed: The Conclusion - A virtual meeting on Human Life, The Environment, and The Migrant
The event will culminate on Sunday, Nov. 21 - the feast of Christ the King - with a virtual event designed to answer questions about the topics that were presented over the previous seven weeks.
Andrea Hoisl, committee member, shared her thoughts on the purpose of this event. “We want to help people understand that the outcry as Christians to stop abortion, the outcry to help the migrants and the poor, the outcry to help save our planet, all come from the same place. The voice is a voice heralding Catholic Social Teaching which is the foundation of our faith.”
This event is a follow up to last year’s virtual conference entitled Life in the Thought of Pope Francis which highlighted speakers on the 40 Days for Life, Laudato Si and the migrant and refugee crisis.
