Unlike a retreat or recollection, it is an opportunity to engage with other men who strive to live their faith well in everyday life. The goal is to build intellectual confidence in understanding and defending the faith, with sessions tailored to provide comprehensive instruction in theology and philosophy.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-text-align-center has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"#wef-reg-1\">Register Now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><thead><tr><th style=\"width:150px;\"><strong>Schedule<\/strong><\/th><th><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>10:00am<\/td><td>Confession Available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10:30am<\/td><td>Mass<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>11:30am<\/td><td><strong>\u201cIntroduction to Eschatology \u2013 Understanding the Last Things\u201d<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>12:45pm<\/td><td>Pizza &amp; Social<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2:00pm<\/td><td>Depart<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><br>Glenwood, 4050 Osler Street, Vancouver (<a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/rmT3Ck4ugdDnyzoXA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Map<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wef-reg-1\">RSVP Today for &#8220;Introduction to Eschatology&#8221;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding: 0.5em 1em; margin-bottom: 2em; border: 1px solid #674970; border-radius: 1em;background-color:#fafafa;\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-purple-color\"><strong>Note: <\/strong>Please RSVP by midnight on Friday, July 25th so we can plan accordingly. <\/mark><\/div>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Eschatology \u2013 Understanding the Last Things What happens when we die?
