NAVIGATING UNEASY RELATIONS<br />
Figuring out how to handle strained relationships is hard. Emotions can<br />
become tumultuous. Opinions can harden. How are we supposed to live<br />
out our faith? Loving others can seem disconcerting, confusing and just<br />
plain difficult. Sometimes we can even forget our Christian calling, simply<br />
dismissing or degrading those whom we consider “other.” You know, . . .<br />
THOSE People, THAT Person. How can we better handle these difficulties?<br />
In this journey, we will gain new insights into the challenges of dealing<br />
with differences between people. Plus, 12 principles will emerge about<br />
loving God, others and self. Besides increasing self-awareness through<br />
assessments, questions and discussion, we will become more intentional<br />
in action.<br />
WHEN? EIGHT Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 PM <strong>September</strong> 6-November<br />
1, <strong>2018</strong> and ONE Saturday Morning, 9 AM-Noon November 10, <strong>2018</strong>.<br />
COST: $20 per person (to cover cost of materials)<br />

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton<br />
Schola Cantorum<br />
Do you want your children to become lifelong servants of the Church?<br />
Singing in a children’s choir is a great way to help that. The St. Elizabeth<br />
Ann Seton Schola Cantorum is currently accepting children Grades 4-12<br />
for its after-school choir program. The choir is responsible for enriching<br />
the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from<br />
3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from<br />
the rich Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as the<br />
finest modern church music.<br />
Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of music reading, vocal<br />
technique, thinking about the words and the structure and meaning<br />
of the Mass. Service hours are available for older students. For more<br />
information, please contact Dr. Douglas O’Neill at doneill@seascs.org.<br />
