Don't miss the opportunity to hear from renowned speaker Jason Evert, live at St. Therese of Lisieux Parish at St. Bernard's Church in Watertown, WI for this special Double Feature event for teens and adults, ages 13+. Get answers to life’s tough questions about love, dating, and relationships from internationally acclaimed speaker Jason Evert! This is a double feature event combining Purified and Gender & the Theology of Your Body into a retreat event. Purified brings parents and teens (13+) together to discover God’s plan for love and opens up an opportunity for them to continue the discussion about this important topic at home, in a healthy and easy way with resources that work. The event includes a new version of Jason’s renowned talk Love or Lust, where he mixes humor with down-to-earth practicality that removes any awkwardness, making the difficult conversations about love much easier. Your family will leave with an understanding of the good news of chastity, a healthy sense of self-worth, and the ability, if needed, to start again. Gender and the Theology of Your Body will follow after a short break. This presentation explores how Catholics can approach the topic of gender with charity and clarity. This talk is for teens and provides the opportunity to discuss this difficult topic facing teens and families today. This event includes Eucharistic Adoration, and an opportunity to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. This format transforms a couple of talks into a retreat for the family, allowing them to encounter the source of purity, healing, and renewal, Jesus Christ.
