SUMMARY:Technology\, Distraction\, and Restless Hearts: Our Roadmap to the Peace of Christ
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 6\, 7-8:30pm \nWith Fr. Michael Hennessy\, CSP \nThey’ve done the research\, and the results aren’t so good!  Americans—of all backgrounds\, ages\, and religious traditions —are using technology more and more\, often accompanied by negative effects on our mental health and overall well-being. Yet\, this is not completely our fault: the technology we encounter in our daily lives—social media\, smartphones\, Netflix—has been engineered to hook us. \nSo where does that leave us as Catholics? What does our great spiritual tradition have to say about technology\, about the way our brains work\, about how to be fully engaged in our complex and connected world? Does our tradition offer us anything at all here or are we on our own to figure this all out? \nJoin us for a two-part conversation that weaves together Church teaching\, psychology\, scriptural insight\, and current research to understand our world a little better and chart a path forward. \n\nIn September\, we’ll survey the digital scene and begin to make connections between our connected world—social media and smartphones—and our spiritual lives.\nIn November\, we’ll reflect on what it is our souls long for\, how technology can confuse or enlighten this search\, and we’ll make a plan for our digital and spiritual lives.\n\nThese are significant questions without easy answers. Yet\, we are people of hope\, and also have great trust in the Holy Spirit’s guidance.  CFD: Spiritualty \n

SUMMARY:Technology\, Distraction\, and Restless Hearts: Our Roadmap to the Peace of Christ
DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays\, September 18 & November 6\, 7-8:30pm \nFr. Michael Hennessy\, CSP \nThey’ve done the research\, and the results aren’t so good!  Americans of all backgrounds\, ages\, and religious traditions are using technology more and more\, often accompanied by negative effects on our mental health and overall well-being. Yet\, this is not completely our fault: the technology we encounter in our daily lives – social media\, smartphones\, Netflix – has been engineered to hook us. \nSo\, where does leave us\, as Catholics? What does our great spiritual tradition have to say about technology\, about the way our brains work\, about how to be fully engaged in our complex and connected world? Does our tradition offer us anything at all here or are we on our own to figure this all out? \nJoin us for a two part conversation that weaves together Church teaching\, psychology\, scriptural insight\, and current research to understand our world a little better and chart a path forward. \n\nIn September\, we’ll survey the digital scene and begin to make connections between our connected world – social media and smartphones – and our spiritual lives.\nIn November\, we’ll reflect on what it is our souls long for\, how technology can confuse or enlighten this search\, and we’ll make a plan for our digital and spiritual lives.\n\nThese are significant questions without easy answers. Yet\, we are people of hope\, and also have great trust in the Holy Spirit’s guidance.  CFD: Spiritualty \nGive Now by Selecting Quick Give or pay at class.  \n[gravityform id=”3″ title=”true” description=”true” ajax=”true” field_values=”program_title=Tech\, Distraction & Restless Hearts”]
