Unlike a retreat or recollection, which are intended to be more silent and reflective, a workshop offers an opportunity to engage with other men who are also striving to live their faith well in everyday life. The goal is to build intellectual confidence in understanding and defending the faith, with sessions designed to provide instruction in theology and philosophy applicable to ordinary life.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\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\">\n  <table>\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th style=\"width:150px;\"><strong>Schedule<\/strong><\/th>\n        <th><\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td>10:00am<\/td>\n        <td>Confession Available<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>10:30am<\/td>\n        <td>Mass<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>11:30am<\/td>\n        <td><strong>\u201cThe Age of AI\u201d<\/strong><\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>1:00pm<\/td>\n        <td>Pizza &#038; Social<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td>2:00pm<\/td>\n        <td>Depart<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/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<div id=\"wef-reg-1\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cooperator &amp; Friends Workshop The Age of AI: Forging a Human Path Through Promise and Peril Sat, Sept 12, 2026 | 10:00am to 2:00pmPresenter: Scott Heathe As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into daily life, it raises important questions about human expertise, creativity, work and responsibility.
