Our July 11 Meeting - Salvation - What Every Catholic Should Know
Thanks to all who responded!
The feedback was unanimous to go with Steve’s suggestion.
So at our July 11 meeting Steve will kick off our discussion of Salvation - What Every Catholic Should Know.
He will cover the Introduction and the first Chapter.

Our July 11 Meeting, Pope XIV's Encyclical and Salvation - What Every Catholic Should Know
Please see Steve S’s email below.
Let me know your thoughts in response to Steve’s suggestion.
Leon,
At our last Men’s Ministry meeting, I was assigned to facilitate Pope Leo XIV Encyclical for the July meeting.
Yesterday evening I spent an hour reading the first 24 paragraphs of the Introduction and part of Chapter One.
The subject matter is interesting, but the text is extremely dense, and I have great difficulty retaining what I just read.
The Encyclical is 245 paragraphs in length. If I continue to read the in-depth material that is included in paragraph after paragraph, I am certain I could not prepare a meaningful thirty-minute presentation for the July meeting.
For this reason, I respectfully request that the Encyclical be cancelled.
I propose that we move ahead with Salvation - What Every Catholic Should Know, that was scheduled to start in August.
I will be prepared to facilitate the Introduction and the first Chapter, twenty-one pages, readable – comprehendible text, at the July meeting.
If you agree, please notify the Men’s Ministry members to secure a copy of Salvation for the July meeting.
Thanks
Steve S
PS: The book is available on Amazon for $9.03
