CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: “AI – Why It Matters to Pope Leo” by Terry Mattingly on April 27th at Xavier Fine Arts

CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: “AI – Why It Matters to Pope Leo” by Terry Mattingly on April 27th at Xavier Fine Arts

AI (an acronym for artificial intelligence) has been a major concern of Pope Leo since the beginning of his pontificate. He has spoken often about it and warned people of faith to be wary of the risks posed by this and other technologies that contribute to today’s dominant digital culture.

Because of the Pope’s concerns, our 2025-2026 Investigate Your Faith Series will wrap up its season with AI – WHY IT MATTERS TO POPE LEO, a presentation by Terry Mattingly, on Monday, April 27th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre. 

Mattingly is a nationally recognized veteran journalist and professor who’s been writing about religion in American life for more than four decades. (Check him out at Rational Sheep blog and podcast.)

No tickets needed! Free will offering encouraged. For details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/ciafmo/events-1.

St. John Nepomucene – Church Cleaning Volunteers Needed

St. John Nepomucene – Church Cleaning Volunteers Needed

St. John Nepomucene Church Cleaning occurs on the first Monday of the month (unless it falls on a holiday, then it is held on the following Monday). We are looking for more volunteers who would like to donate their time and help us clean!

You may attend the 6:45 a.m. Communion Service and then help with the cleaning afterwards or simply come at 7:15 a.m. and meet in the Gathering Space. Light cleaning is performed which consists of dusting, vacuuming, sweeping and other miscellaneous items.

Depending on how many volunteers come, cleaning usually takes about 1.5 hours or less! Help when you are able and stay as long as you are able! You will be doing a great service to your parish all while enjoying fellowship and then indulge on some great dessert bars and refreshments afterwards!

If you have any questions, please contact Amy or Betsy (contact information listed below) or you may call the parish office at (920) 788-9061 .
