Today's Readings & Reflection
In the synagogue there was a man who had the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, ‘Let us alone! What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.’ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silent, and come out of him!’ When the demon had thrown him down before them, he came out of him without having done him any harm.

Join us for a two-day diocesan AI Symposium, where faith and technology come together in conversation.
Scholars and practitioners, including Steven Umbrello, Matthew Harvey Sanders, Louise Lodevole, Dr. Ed Tse, and Bishop McGrattan, will examine artificial intelligence through the lenses of Catholic doctrine, human dignity, family life, and its impact on society.
With keynote addresses, panel discussions, and guided reflection, this event will engage both heart and mind on one of today’s most urgent questions: What are the promises and perils of AI, and how can the Church provide guidance in this new era?
