Fr. Dan DanielsonSunday, April 13th @ 7pm
An Evening With Fr. Dan Danielson: If It's Such Good News, Why Don't Catholics Go Door to Door?
Sharing faith out in the neighborhoods has long been an effective method of spreading the message for Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. Why don't more Catholic communities employ this approach? What are the positive and negatives of it? Join us for an engaging and enlightening discussion.

Fr. Danielson served for many years as pastor of the Catholic Community of Pleasanton, CA and is a nationally known speaker and retreat leader.

Fr. George Schultze, SJSunday, May 18th @ 7pm
An Evening With Fr. George Schultze, SJ HWJW: How Would Jesus Work?
One of the fundamental challenges of the mature Catholic person is not only how to balance work, family, and personal life, but how to integrate an active faith and discipleship into all aspects of one's life. Can a business be profitable, successful and Christ-centered? Can what we DO for a living and who we ARE as Christians be fully integrated?

Fr. George Currently teaches at St. Patrick seminary in Menlo Park and directs the field education program for the seminary students.

Anna HorenWednesday, April 30th @ 7pm
An Evening With Anna Horen: What Makes us Catholic?
Although we are proud to identify ourselves as Catholics, we are often hard-pressed to explain what is distinctive about our faith when asked or challenged by non-Catholics. This talk will explore the distinctiveness of the Catholic worldview.

Anna Horen is the Director of Faith Formation at the Catholic Community of Pleasanton. She has worked in parish ministry for over 12 years, mainly in the area of Adult Faith Formation. In addition, she teaches at the Diocese of Oakland's School for Pastoral Ministry, is a spiritual director, and is a member of the diocese's Lay Ecclesial Ministry Council. Anna holds an M.A. in Theology from the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. She and Bob, her husband of 26 years, live in Pleasanton. They are the proud parents of two sons.
