As discussed several months ago (far too early for most to commit), you are invited to attend a traditional Catholic Action weekend in New Orleans.

Be forewarned that there is a major convention in town that weekend. For that reason, I am happy to help with securing hotel and restaurant reservations as well as providing what transportation help to and from the airport or outer-lying hotels as is possible.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

N.B.

As noted in the link, I will be preparing little binders for attendees and am interested in collecting lists of "picks" from all interested FR Catholics ... whether or not you can attend ... so that I can compile a sourcebook of ready references to include:

• authors and books
  
• periodicals
  
• websites
  
• traditional Catholic organizations of note
  
• so-called "Catholic" organizations and networks on which to keep an eye
  
• miscellany ... as related to the proposed topics intended for discussion -- liturgy, priesthood, human life, etc. -- or simply personal favorites.

In order to save money, all binder materials and the substance of discussions/presentations will be uploaded to the net and available by electronic transmission.

Thank you very much for the invitation. I just checked and you're about 680 miles away.

I'm an impulsive traveler, so give me a reminder bump about one week prior please. I just received my ashes.

Lapsed RC bump!

I'm in New Orleans earlier that week but must fly back to Pittsburgh on the 13th. I appologize for not being able to attend. bloodmeridian

You may know this, but Frank Sheed's To Know Christ Jesus is prime reading for Lent.

[Dumb_Ox]

So sad that I can't make it. I'll just make a nice webpage or two summarizing interesting topics that haven't found their way to FR.

[Notwithstanding]

The Ave Maria Foundation is doing great work and is faithful to the magisterium. Most of the foundation's apostolates have weblinks at the following web address:

bttt...

Sounds interesting

Please keep me on your bump/ping list. I may on may not be in California that week.

Thanks for all your efforts...appreciate it.

[AAABEST]

Wow, maybe there is a thread on Catholicism where the bashers can take a break for once.

I think we're setting a record here so far. JimRobs warning post may have helped.

Interesting.

Thanks so much for the nice invitation--I am in school, working on my BS (NO funny remarks, please!) and since I'm also working, I've got to put all plans to travel aside for at least another year and a half...The meeting will certainly be in my prayers--!

P. S. the New Oxford Review is online, now, the past issues, and they are terrific!

[melsec]

More power to you brothers and sisters. Am offering up prayers for you now. Why didn't I see this sort of stuff when I was brought up Catholic. I firmly beleive the only way to change society is one heart at a time turned towards Jesus.

God Bless you all

I'm not on your list, but I am Catholic and I am from New Orleans, & although I'm not there anymore, I think my Mom would LOVE to come to this seminar at St Pat's. She's not a freeper, wouldn't even know what one was, - is she welcome anyway?

[alcuin]

Sounds worthwhile.

Yes, I'm serious.

[Terriergal]

Catholic Action restores society by converting it to Christ.

I always find it funny when people get scared at statements like this from the Catholic and Protestant churches, as if you are intending to do make conversions at gunpoint.
