July 9 Cafe Catholica 2007 Pics
Cafe Catholica began it's 8th successful conference with the theme "Get Connected". This past Monday evening, July 9 at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church we celebrated Mass, dined together and listened to Nick Lopez, Jr. M.A., LPC talk about relationships and living out a Christian life.
The following are several pictures I took for those that may have missed it to see what it's all about. Better yet, this next Monday is the second Monday of four Mondays where Catholic young adults throughout the archdiocese will be getting together and talk about "Faith & Politics" with guest speaker Mayor Dave Wallace of Sugarland, Texas. Granted they are not Gerald Augustinus quality pics, but it is not bad for a Wal-Mart special Pentax digital camera that I used!
Above is a side view of the hundreds of Catholic young adults that attended. You can see Nick Lopez, Jr. begin his talk and discussion about living out Catholic relationships opposed to secular relationships.
The above shows the guest speaker from a different angle.
One more last angle shot of Nick Lopez, Jr. explaining to young adults the problems of secular relationships and the rewards of following a path of Christ.
Here we have a booth for those young adults interested in mission work throughout the world.
Here we have the Little Way Design booth by David and Connie Vuong. They offer t-shirts that help express our Catholic faith. They also so happened to be on the panel for discussion after Nick Lopez, Jr.'s talk about living a relationship with Christ. They represented the young couple age group.
And finally we had a special guest that one of the Sisters of Charity the Incarnate Word posed with. Our own German Shepherd!

Clint Ressler Director of Vocations for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Nick Lopez, Jr. M.A., LPC the guest speaker, Connie and David Vuong with their little one along with the Devants. They represented the different age groups that discussed how they live out their Catholic faith in the world. Fr. Clint Ressler was there to offer clarification on Catholic teaching (as well as to fish some potential callings to the priesthood!)
Here we have the Pure Truth booth offering Catholic gifts for those in attendance.
These Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word were here to helps those in their discernment to be nuns as well as offering an example of the wonderful vocation that they live everyday.
Finally a shot of Fr. Clint Ressler engaging with the young adults on the topic of chastity in marriage.

Cafe Catholica 2007
The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is conducting their 8th annual Young Adult Coffee House more popularly known as Cafe Catholica! This is actually a group of fervent and faithful young adult Catholics in their early 20s to 30s who are holding a speaker series directed for Catholic young adults. The speaker series occurs each Monday evening for the rest of July at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church located on 6800 Buffalo Speedway in Houston, Texas.
This is the largest young adult conference in Houston conducted annually. Approximately 400-500 young adults come to celebrate Mass, dine together in fellowship, then listen to guest speakers. This event is entirely free, but a nominal donation would be appreciated ($5 is suggested) to keep this even running for next year.
The theme for this years Cafe Catholica 2007 is "Get Connected". This evenings topic will be "Dating & Relationships" with guest speakers Nick Lopez, Jr. M.A., Connie & David Vuong, and Joe & Cinda Devet. These speakers will talk about their relationships and how their Catholic faith plays out in every day life for them with a question and answer session to follow.
Mass begins at 6:30 pm at St. Vincent de Paul Church followed by dinner at 7:00 pm with the speakers beginning at 7:30 pm. I have attended this event the past three (3) years and it is one where you shouldn't miss. If there is only one event you plan to attend, outside of Mass, this would be the event to attend to. This offers a great networking opportunity for clerics and laity alike to meet others who lead, participate, and engage in their Catholic faith in other apostolates within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.
I highly recommend any Catholic young adult in Houston to attend this event. You'll learn more about your faith, be invigorated by fellowship of other Catholics who live out their faith each and every day, and come away wanting to do more as a Catholic living in the world.

Bill Cork Moving On
Just found out that Bill Cork, Director of Young Adult & Campus Ministry for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, will be moving on to greener pastures. After nine (9) years of faithful service to the Archdiocese, Bill will be going to another apostolate on his professional journey. He will be sorely missed, especially by me. Even more so considering that Catholic young adults (singles mostly) are the least tended to in most dioceses.
I’ve had the good fortune of living in many different dioceses across the United States and have been a witness to the different approaches to how the diocese has served their young adult communities. The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is by far superior to any diocese I have been a member to. From Café Catholic to Bayou Awakening (and many more), Bill has done a lot of excellent work serving the Catholic young adults and college students throughout the archdiocese. There has also been a spill-over effect that has created a plethora of young adult apostolate’s too numerous to list that can directly or indirectly be credited to Bill’s hard work.
His own blog, Built on a Rock, inspired me to start my own blog!
From the many Catholic young adult’s in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston we thank you for your dedicated service to us. God bless and Godspeed.
