Oh Yay! A Men's Drumming Group!

Cut and paste directly from the freshly merged "Community of Christ Our Light" bulletin (Nov. 29, 2009). No joke. We wish we could say it was. And people wonder why we don't want to merge. Yikes! Now we've got the unabashedly pagan "men's movement" crap coming in? What's next, beating our chests and war paint in the woods? Perhaps this sort of thing is how men get up the physical strength and nerve to push down elderly Catholic men. Guess who's "in residence" at "Christ Our Light?"

Be The Light              
"The Circle"
                     
Sunday Dec. 13 2:00-4:30PM

High school age males are invited to participate with men
of the community in a Men's Drumming Circle. The Circle,
led by Tim Gallagher, meets once a month on Sunday af-
ternoons to share life, drumming and faith. The format
used is similar to one used by many men's prayer groups
meeting throughout the world. This may prove to be a
fascinating and unique experience for the teenage men of
our community. Drums and other percussion instruments
will be provided. Fathers and teenage sons are also en-
couraged to participate but it is not necessary for a teen-
ager to have his father present to participate. Tim will
provide guidance on the format of the Circle and an intro-
duction to drumming at 2:00 PM prior to the start of the
Circle at 3:00 PM. During the cold weather the Circle is
held in the basement of the School.

Why Save St. Mary's?

What's true for OL Queen of Peace, Pitman & Assumption, Wildwood Crest is also true for St. Mary's Malaga:

"The people in Pitman bought that ground and built that church and it belongs to them. You can't just take it away."

-Anthony Mecca, Queen of Peace Parish, Pitman (also on the slate for closure), May 8, 2008

"This is God's house. Let us live here with God as we've done all these years."

-Fred Spiewak, Assumption Parish, Wildwood Crest, June 11, 2008
