An Interview with An Exorcist

My old boss, Fr Dave Dwyer, CSP, did this interview on The Catholic Channel on Sirius with Fr. Gary Thomas, the exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose. He has performed exorcisms and talks about what's real, what's Hollywood invention, what is Catholic teaching? And what is the difference between possession and mental illness.

Recently the book The Rite came out which details Fr Gary's training as a Vatican certified exorcist. It's a great book and while I was at best, agnostic on this piece of our tradition (Meaning, I'm not sure what I believed), Fr Gary and the author Matt Baglio did a great job of clearing up misconceptions and convincing me that something is indeed real and compelling here.

The Saints on Halloween

Here is a video I produced with Fr James Martin, SJ last Halloween. Everything you wanted to know about All Hallow's Eve!



Be safe, enjoy the spirit of Halloween and we'll see you at the party tonight.

Halloween Pot Luck Bash! Saturday 10/31 @ 7PM-10PM

Sorry for the last second notice on this, but a bunch of students asked if we could have a Halloween Pot Luck after mass and since the room was available I thought we'd give it a shot.

So if you're dressing up for this Halloween or if you're looking for a pre-party with free food before hitting the town--then look no further.

All Hallow's Eve has Catholic roots, as the day before All Saints Day, so it's most appropriate to come and celebrate with us.

Come and celebrate Halloween with our new campus minister. It's a pot luck so your admission fee is simply to bring a small dish to share with people.

Costumes highly encouraged and we'll give a prize for the most creative costume!

We'll have some dancing and other fun from 7-10P So come get a quick bite with us before you head out. RSVP with your dish please via facebook

Thanks,
Mike

Wine Tasting Fund Raiser

On November 6, we need volunteers to help with the fund raiser. This is an event that raises money for our ministry so it would be nice if we all could attend and volunteer to help out. Send me an email if you have more questions or sign up in the community room.

Thanks,

Mike
