      General discussion for the delight of young and old, anytime of the day. A quality method to discourage sloth and to encourage nobility of character.

    2. The Vocation Station

      Uniquely curative and restorative. No other forum gives future priests and nuns the benefit of health, discernment and focus.

    3. Debate Table

      It is the courageous who debate behind an electronic screen. For those that believe face to face dialogue is for the foolhardy and indeed short lived, the Debate Table is a wonder to behold.

      I don't hate it.

      I do question why the tabernacle looks like some kids painted it.

      Do I prefer this to a traditional style cathedral? No way. But, I do try to see the beauty in all things--including modern design and architecture. I also see the ecumenical beauty in taking over a former Protestant church.
