Catholic Faith and Modern Science: Live Online Course
Five Tuesday evenings: February 2, 9, 16, 23, and March 2, from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
Are faith and science opposed to each other? Do miracles matter? Can physics explain creation without a creator? What is consciousness? Does evolution contradict the faith? All are welcome to join this online course on "Faith and Science" sponsored by the School for Pastoral Leadership of the Archdiocese of San Francisco.
The teacher is Stephen M. Barr, President of the Society of Catholic Scientists and Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Delaware. He is the author of Modern Physics and Ancient Faith and The Believing Scientist: Essays on Science and Religion. Professor Barr was elected in 2010 to the Academy of Catholic Theology and was awarded the Benemerenti Medal by Pope Benedict XVI. For information and registration visit sfarch.org/science.

Welcome to Pastoral Ministry
-
The Pastoral Ministry office is a Catholic ‘support system’ for parishes and parishioners, helping them to shine luminously as visible signs of Christ’s presence in the world.
The origin of the word “pastor” means “to shepherd,” or to feed and protect. In this spirit, the Pastoral Ministry office helps to guide and sustain the faithful through all stages of their Christian lives.
We help prepare adults and children to become disciples by offering resources on how to become a Catholic, and by supporting youth ministries, young adult ministries, and 22 different cultural ministries. We offer resources for Catholic marriage preparation and family planning. We provide a safe environment for children and youth, uphold peace, justice, well-being, and dignity for all people, particularly through our programs supporting mental health resources and medical care for the whole person. We facilitate consolation to the grieving and offer the peace of our Catholic cemeteries and keep the invitation to Christ’s table alive by providing liturgical advice and assistance to ordained and lay ministers in local parishes.

resources support our faith community, or contact us directly for personal guidance.Office of Pastoral Ministry
