Jovial January

    Thank you Ren family for hosting Areopagus this month’s fantastic meeting! I’m sure everyone had a great time debating the many topics that came up this month. We even found time to celebrate Rachel I’s birthday. Some of the questions that arose this month were:


Why is the Glory Be prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours different from that in the Rosary?

Is it morally right for the FBI to confiscate private property?

Is it acceptable to attend a Christmas party in Advent?



The Holy Family (Claudio Coello)
What should you say to a person who claims that Catholic homeschoolers are “indoctrinated?”

Who are Jehovah's Witnesses, and do they celebrate any holidays?

Is it sinful to watch reality shows like American Idol?

How can you combat laziness?

What prayers should one say while in Adoration?

When is breaking the Fourth Commandment a mortal sin?

    The next Areopagus will be on February 24th, the fourth Friday of the month, at the Rochon residence. The address is 15303 Crescentwood, Eastpointe. There is parking allowed across the street on Crescentwood facing Gratiot (eastbound). I hope many of you will be able to come with your questions and comments; don’t forget to bring a snack to pass.

In Christ,
