2 Church of Saint Peter Heart of the Ministry Being Involved at St. Peter s Spirituality for Seniors Presentation Growing Holy with Age: A Return to Spiritual Childhood Thursday, November 13th 9:00-10:30 am in Rms. C/D The irony of aging is that as we grow in wisdom, we are smart enough to know that we certainly don t know everything. Indeed, the paradox is that as we age, we realize that we must become more and more childlike in our dependence and abandonment to God s loving providence. Such is what St. Thérèse called the Way of Spiritual Childhood it is the secret passage to Holiness...touching God s heart...and others, with LOVE! Deacon Gannon will be applying the Way of Spiritual Childhood of St. Thérèse of Lisieux and scripture to spiritual growth and note the advantages being an older adult affords us for HOLINESS and spiritual growth complete dependence on God, doing little things with great love. Deacon Dan Gannon is President and CEO of Catholic Senior Services. He is ordained for the diocese of LaCrosse and lives in Prescott, Wisconsin with his wife, Lisa, and four children. He holds a law degree from William Mitchell and a Masters in Theology from Holy Apostles College and Seminary. He is presently beginning doctoral work in moral and spiritual theology. Deacon is a member of the Archdiocesan ethics committee, frequently speaks on end of life issues and enjoys directing retreats at diocesan and parish levels.

It was an all-day event, open to all high-schoolers in the diocese. We began the night praising the Lord in song, then we listened to the speaker for the night, Sister Miriam Heidland. As the keynote speaker and she brought us a lot of laughs along with some great truths about where and how we can find happiness. We celebrated a beautiful Vigil Mass, played basketball, and got to see the St. Thomas University. Our teens really enjoyed the "Ask the Archbishop" part of the night, where students texted or wrote down questions for Archbishop Neinstedt and he answered with an argylesweater-ed priest/sidekick as a hilarious moderator. The Archbishop answered questions ranging from, "What's your favorite dinosaur?" to "What do you think about what Pope Francis has said concerning gay marriage?" Our St. Peter's teens even wrote a question that was picked to be answered in front of everyone! We closed the night in prayer before Jesus in the Eucharist. Jesus was processed in a monstrance around the entire space, and wherever Jesus was, everyone knelt. It was a beautiful experience to be in a crowd of 2,000 young people worshiping the Lord. Praise God for the wonderful opportunity to go, and thank you to all those who participated!
