The guest speaker was Fr. John Sheehan S.J. who
spoke of both cultural and political forces today attempting to suppress both
the Catholic Church and its teaching.
Fr. Sheehan challenged everyone in attendance to become more aware of
these threats and that Catholics needed to band together if it is to be
stopped.
