Feminine Genius * Tuesday, October 14
Ladies, come discover and rediscover womanhood, in an
evening of sharing, support, and encouragement. Our speaker,
Bethany Cabrera, will present the second part to: Feminine
Genius, from Creation to Present-Day based St. John Paul II's
Theology of the Body and his Letter to Women. We will learn
how to find fulfillment in our true vocation of womanhood
through the example of Mary our Mother, who called herself
the “handmaid of the Lord”. Bethany holds a Bachelor of Arts
in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, and Art
History from the University of Michigan. As a convert to
Catholicism, she studied for 2 years at Sacred Heart Major
Seminary and was invited to take part in the first Theology of
the Body class at the Cardinal Maida Institute’s Pastoral
Institute for Marriage and Family. From there she wrote a
Marriage Preparation program for Ss. Cyril & Methodius
Catholic Church and taught along side her husband for 5 years
before training other couples to take over. In 2010 she
prepared a modified version of the retreat based on the
Theology of the Body for Teens and Young Adults. She now
concentrates on raising her 4 children.

RSVP, please contact Alejandra Correa at (305) 335-6581.

Healing Mass * Thursday, October 16
Our next Healing Mass is this Thursday, October 16, at 7PM.
Calix * Thursday, October 16
The Calix Society was founded in 1947 in Minneapolis in the
United States, by a group of five men, all recovering
alcoholics, who saw their faith as a sure path to serenity
without alcohol. 'Calix' is Latin for 'chalice', and these men
accepted the idea that they were substituting 'the cup that
sanctifies for the cup that stupefies'.
The purpose of the founders of Calix was to use the resources
of the Church to aid them as alcoholics to work towards
sanctification. Calix gathers its members together as Catholics,
on common spiritual ground, with their common problem and
their common aspirations, to seek guidance in practical daily
living.
Calix is not a ‘Catholic A.A.’. It does not attempt to sober
anyone up. Alcoholics Anonymous is very effective in that
area and there are other 12 Step programs, and medical
alternatives for that purpose. Calix seeks only to provide a
complementary and supplementary resource for Catholics, to
help them make connections between what they receive from
A.A., Alanon, or other 12 Step programs and the faith and
practices of the Church.
If you believe you could benefit from being a part of the Calix
Society, come to our next meeting. We meet at 8:00PM at the
Ss. Cyril and Methodius Activity Center, on the third Thursday
of every month. Our next meeting is this Thursday, October
16.

St. Cyril’s Book Club * October 20
On May 5, 1995, something extraordinary happened to Dr.
Gloria Polo Ortiz, a dentist from Bogota Columbia. She was
taking shelter from a storm with her nephew, when both of
them were struck by lightning. What happened to her
afterwards was a miracle which led to her conversion and a
life of abandonment to the will of God. She now tells her
story in many different countries around the world, and has
the approval of her diocese in Bogota, Colombia, and her
spiritual director. Her testimony is an inspiration for all of
us, and will increase our faith in Christ Jesus and His Holy
Catholic Church. St. Cyril's Book Club will meet on
Monday, October 20, at 7:00PM in room 112. We will be
reading: "Struck By Lightning" by Dr. Gloria Polo. This book

Mercy in Clinton Township, Michigan. In 1986, Catherine was miraculously healed
through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary while on her deathbed, after
giving birth to her youngest daughter. She made a promise that she would do
something “good” for God (in return). In 1992, Jesus Christ appeared to Catherine
and asked for “a total healing of every strata of the Church.” Catherine has dedicated
her life to spreading the message of The Divine Mercy. She is dynamic yet humble,
spiritual, yet grounded. A wife of 38 years, a proud mother of three, grandmother of
nine, and a woman who has been face to face with Jesus Christ, Catherine M. Lanni
is sure to inspire you with her passion for The Divine Mercy and this ministry.

FARNOSŤ SVÄTÝCH
CYRILA A METODA
Farnosť sv. Cyrila je slovenská rímskokatolícka farnosť, ktorá je otvorená
každému, kto chce spoznávať a žiť
katolícku vieru. Ako „Rodina rodín“ a
„spoločenstvo spoločenstiev“ sa snažíme
vieru žiť a šíriť tak, aby ľudia spoznali
Boha a prinášali Kristov pokoj a radosť
medzi ľudí. Farnosť sa usiluje byť
centrom spoločenského a kultúrneho
života všetkých Slovákov, ktorí sú vždy
vítaní na tunajšej pôde.
