(Patent -- could you hit your bump list ... I'm sure I have already flagged a couple but I resisted the urge to flag those I could see on your flaglist.)

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 ... =)

• One of our group had the fine idea to begin a novena to St. Patrick this Saturday. I think I shall join in that effort and know we all will appreciate any prayers offered on our behalf.

• While I intend to turn Dumb_Ox's idea into a little seal of sorts for our little societe's Official Stuff, I am desperate for a name!

  -- 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.)
  
  -- 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).
  
  

  and, last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST

• Please SPAM THIS THREAD with links (or even just the titles, for searching purposes) of your favorite threads over the years. I shall be putting many of these on diskettes for those attending the symposium and will be caching same at whatever website we rustle up thereafter. Should make for an excellent resource. <>

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 =)

• 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.

See you soon!

Hey ... how to you say Catholic Action in Latin?

I’ll need some Latin help, but a couple suggestions.

Association of Digital Apologetics (how do you say digital in Latin?)

Faith and Internet (Fides et Internet)

Curmudgeons who care -- not related to the internet, but perhaps accurate? ;-)

Association Seeking to Keep Evangelization Live (ASKEL)

Dominus Vobiscum
