CREATIONISM VS EVOLUTION
At the Main Hall of The Creation Museum there is a sign which reads: "In the beginningin six, 24-hour daysGod made a perfect creation". The $27 million dollar museum, which is within 10 miles of the Cincinnati Airport, opened in 2007 and has Dr. Kurt P. Wise, a Biology graduate from Harvard serving as its Scientific Consultant. Often we read in the paper or hear on TV about the topic of Creationism and Evolution on which a person will say Christians have an obligation to believe one while another will tell you that is flat out wrong. Join us on February 21st and 28th as we explore what the Catholic Church really has to say about Creation vs. Evolution debate. We will begin at 7:00pm in the RCIA room, all are invited.

OVERNIGHT SHELTER
St. Martin de Porres will once again feed the homeless at the cold weather shelters at the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Central Presbyterian on Monday, February 6th. There are three ways to help: prepare food (we provide recipes), serve the food at the shelters (only requires about 3 hours, usually home between 8:30 & 9:00pm), stay overnight until 6:30am (safe atmosphere with private sleeping quarters). We have the most difficulty finding overnight volunteers, but it is really easy duty. We break the night up into watches, and since guests sleep between 9 pm and 5:30am, there is plenty of quiet time to catch up on reading, paperwork, etc. The more volunteers we have, the more sleep we get!
