Bible Study
Every other Monday at 8pm

We recenty reading through the Letters of St Paul to the Galations, with the Ignatius Catholic Bible Study serving as our guide. This study includes commentary by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch. Free books are provided by the CYA. We started at the beginning and are working our way through it.

Readings: Chapter 4 of Galatians

This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your faith through insights provided by other Catholic Young Adults on how Sacred Scripture speaks to us in our lives today. Afterwards, we go to Braum's (at 28th and Harvard).

Location: Church of the Madalene - St. Francis Room (3188 E 32nd St)

Fr. Matt Gerlach is the Vocations director for the Dicoese of Tulsa and will explain celibacy. Why are priests and other religious (nuns and brothers) required to abstain from sex? What about the priests that are married? Come for an interesting, and often talked about topic.

Theology on Tap is our summer speaker series held at McNellie's. This year's theme is "Hittin' the Hard Stuff". Every month we will invite a speaker to touch on aspects of the Catholic Church that people have the most difficulty understanding. Speakers begin at 8pm. Come early for socializing.

Remaining Speaker List:
September 14th - Fr. Joe Townsend "Oklahoma Martyr"
October 12th - Bishop Slattery "Saints and Miracles"

Free babysitting is available at the Church of the Madalene from 7:15-9:15. The babysitters are Diocesan trained, and are paid for by the CYA.

Location: McNellie's Pub (409 E 1st St)

Roamin' Catholic
6:30 Mass, followed by discussion

Every once in a while, we like to travel to churches of the Diocese to visit with priests we might not otherwise meet at our home parishes. This month, we’ll be travelin’ to St. Pius X Church for Mass and a discussion with Fr. Mike Knipe.

St. Pius is the home of one of the Diocese’s elementary/middle schools and recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. The church was the centerpiece of the Moeller Heights neighborhood in which it is nestled. You may have visited if you’ve been to the Bishop Kelley Baccalaureate Mass. Quick trivia: St. Pius has the largest alter in the Diocese. It’s round architecture and pitched white roof lend it to resemble a circus tent, so we’ll be having Mass “under the big top!”

Fr. Mike Knipe has served as the deacon of St. Pius for the past six years. He serves on the Marriage Tribunal for the Diocese, and came to speak on this topic at June’s Theology on Tap. His knowledge coupled with his ability to bring dense topics to a simple level make him a great teacher of Church doctrine.

Refreshments will be served at the rectory (catty-corner on the St. Pius campus from the church) following Mass. We’ll have an opportunity to visit with Fr. Mike in an “Open Mic” format: you bring the questions, and he’ll answer them if he can. Our past “Open Mic” nights have been some of the best events of the year!

Whether you are searching for a parish/pastor, or you are just interested in learning more about the Diocese, you shouldn’t miss this month’s “Roamin’ Catholic.”
