Lumen
This Lumen event will feature a Q&A panel of five priests from diverse backgrounds, representing both the Eastern and Western Catholic Churches. Panelists include Fr. Marcin Szymanski, O.P., Fr. Colin Parrish, and Fr. Joseph Park, O.S.B.
The intention of this panel is not necessarily to focus on theologically heavy questions or apologetics, but rather to provide young adults with insight into the daily lives, vocations, routines, joys, challenges, and experiences of priests.
The panel will begin with a guided discussion around three prepared questions, giving each priest the opportunity to share his own background and current ministry. After this structured discussion, the evening will move into general audience Q&A.

We will stop for an hour at the lake for Mass and lunch after. You can expect to be back in Seattle around 4:30pm.
Lumen- Empress of the Americas by Ignacio Davila
Why has Our Lady of Guadalupe been called the “Empress of the Americas”? And why did Saint John Paul II describe the Guadalupan Event as the “perfectly inculturated” model of evangelization? In this presentation, we will weave together the biblical imagery of Revelation, the historical upheavals of the 15th–17th centuries, and the compelling story of the 1531 apparitions to Saint Juan Diego. We will then “read” the tilma, its symbols, language, and cultural meaning, to see how Guadalupe became a uniquely powerful bridge between worlds, promoting peace, human dignity, and unity among peoples, and inspiring a living devotion that continues today, including a call to monthly prayer leading up to the 500th anniversary in 2031.

“Waves of Grace - Reaching Souls Through Catholic Radio” presented by Ron Belter, President and General Manager of Sacred Heart Radio.
In college he met his wife, Bernadette, and after witnessing the love and joy of the Catholic faith through her and her 13 siblings, Ron converted.
He started by buying a nightly hour of radio airtime to air Catholic Answers. That small act of faith eventually led to the purchase of AM1050 and now, 25 years later Sacred Heart Radio has grown to 12 stations reaching 5 million listeners in Washington state in addition to a station in Kodiak, Alaska.
