About The Event

Very often, our professional lives force us to spend a lot of time performing meaningless and unfulfilling tasks, constrained in little cubicles and surrounded by people who are neither friends nor models. Does it really have to be that way? Rather than approaching this question from a theoretical perspective, we will try to laugh about it, and we will let Hollywood entertain us. Save your spot for a comedy night--inevitably followed by much deeper chats!

Few books can be so short and yet so impactful. Few people, perhaps, are as deeply insightful and as radically charitable as Bishop and Abbot Erik Varden. I am sure we don't have to convince you that the topic - chastity - is worth your time.

While the term acedia may be unfamiliar, the vice, usually translated as sloth, is all too common. Sloth is not mere laziness, however, but a disgust with reality, a loathing of our call to be friends with God, and a spiteful, bored hatred of place and life itself.
