The University of Notre Dame invited President Obama to speak at their commencement ceremony this year, quite an honor. Given the president's stated positions on issues of life and the protection of the unborn with regard to abortion and embryonic stem cell research, which stand in direct opposition to Catholic teaching on the subjects, this invitation has Catholics around the country debating whether Notre Dame should have made the invitation or not.
Today in the Chicago Tribune, two prominent Catholics, Doug Kmiec and George Weigel, debated the subject.

Men's Retreat
The annual St Denis Men's Retreat is happening March 20th-22nd. The retreat is run by the Passionists at Mater Dolorosa in the foothills of Sierra Madre. It is a beautiful retreat center, perfect for meditation and relaxation. The food is 5-star, too.
The theme of the retreat this year is "Everyday Saints," focusing on saints "in our midst," possibly even you and me! The sessions will be informative and interactive, as always. All the men of our parish are invited to attend.
If you would like to attend this year's retreat or just have questions, please call Michael Kellogg at 909-860-1332. We have a limited number of openings available, so call as soon as possible to secure your spot.
