Traditional Catholic Action
Salon & Soiree
New Orleans, Louisiana
March 15th-17th (St. Patrick's Day Weekend)
|
CATHOLIC ACTION Catholic Action is an apostolate. Its end is to win men to Christ as men were won to Christ by Peter and Paul. Is is a social apostolate. It seeks to restore right order in society, to re-create society. But its action is not political. The breaking societies of the West cannot be renewed by economic or political panaceas. Is is a moral sickness from which the body of society suffers, and it will not be cured by local plasters upon local symptoms. Politics, economics are phases of human behavior, but human behavior is inevitably determined by the right values which men hold, by their sense of right and wrong ... Catholic Action restores society by converting it to Christ. Restoring All Things: A Guide to Catholic Action, John Fitzsimons and Paul McGuire (Sheed & Ward, 1938) |
I'm thinking we should stick to stuff that needs only cups, napkins and coffee stirrers for the Rectory.
I shall start working on a Triple R seal we can use for official correspondence ... regardless what title we choose!
Thanks Dumb_Ox.
Yes, I'm serious.
(Yes, I'm shaken ... =)
As I've got to have RSVP's in order to mail out binders in advance, shouldn't be too difficult to get the curious over for a little wine and cheese Friday night.
You're dairy-free and I'm on the wagon? Some swell party, huh? ;-)
(Sunday is still a free day.)
I'm going to attend a black tie event locally on March 16. The event(s) will be addressed by VP Dick Cheney via live webcast.
So, I must send my regrets. I'm on the wagon for Lent, too, and I'd be no fun. Thanks for putting this together. Best wishes.
I'd probably break fast just thinking about having to go. =)
First, I want to thank everyone who's taken the time to drop links or suggestions, or prayers thus far.
Second, I wish to ask YET MORE FAVORS ... =)
-- Latin seems best ... but it has to be somewhat simple, like "[In Defense of] Fides et Ratio" (N.B., no, I am not above incoporating "Fides et Ratio" into our name so we pop up regularly on searches.)and, last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST
-- I'd like to keep us close to the top of the alphabet ... use of apologia might help.
-- It would be cool if we could distinguish ourselves as cyber warriors of a sort but not absolutely necessary given that it will be obvious the moment folks check us out.
-- I'd like to pick a patron saint. We can jump the gun and choose St. Isidore, if you like. He's been touted as a potential patron of all things cyberspace. Or, we can entertain other candidates. (This is not as critical as the 5:00 pm deadline).
Thank you again for your help.
ATTENDEES:
Spoke with Fr. Klores and the folks in the Rectory today. Father is happy to begin the Symposium with a Mass. Folks can dig into coffee and pastries as I make some opening comments and we each pitch the internet as the premium took of apologetics at present (as coupled with face-to-face, each one save one solidarity =)
See you soon!
- THURSDAY --
Everyone appears to be arriving on Thursday. I suggest we meet at the Napoleon House after supper (and my choir rehearsal) that night for a visit. Napoleon House is on Chartres about smack dab between St. Patrick's Church and my house.
- FRIDAY --
Looks like Friday morning is best for meeting the priests and having Mass. I think we should meet bright and early for Mass and treat the Rectory and staff to breakfast. This way everyone's got the rest of the day to do as they please or hang out on my porch. I'm happy to give a little city tour (drawing on my old Destination Management days) for anyone who'd like one that morning.Perhaps we could all drive to Sid-Mar's on Lake Pontchartrain for a seafood supper and Dixie beers that night.
- SATURDAY --
(agenda to follow).
- SUNDAY --
your choice of Latin Mass at 9:30 or the patronal feastday Mass (Archbishop Hughes presiding). I shall be at both and the choir will be singing at 11:00. Perhaps brunch afterwards and a free afternoon. My St. Patrick's Day party should begin around dusk and the Downtown Irish Club parade will roll on Royal a block away sometime between 7 and 8.(N.B. I will not be driving anyone anywhere that night so you'll have to cab it uptown unless Romulus keeps his Lenten obligations on Sunday after all.)
- MONDAY --
Everyone's free to sleep in, do last-minute shopping or attend early Mass at St. Mary's (a few blocks from my house) or St. Louis Cathedral. Perhaps a late lunch at Galatoire's or Mr. B's to cap the weekend.I have taken the day off to cover airport duty that afternoon and will stick around until the last pilgrim departs.
Frankly, I really like Conspiratio Sine Nomine.
And, hey, what's not to like? ...
Latin, top of the alphabet (without being too pushy) and a nod of sorts to the (old) FR on which we met. =)
conspiratio -onis f. [blowing or breathing together; harmony , agreement, union]; in bad sense, [conspiracy, plot].I really like it. Buncha blowhards stumped for a name to call themselves. Perfect.
A certain truth in advertising where the "bad sense" is concerned. Damn straight we're "plotting". =)
