Fr. Sean Kilcawley, a priest of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska, will be in Lansing to present to students, parents, and teachers about the challenges of growing up (and forming children) in the Twenty-first Century. We can’t really exaggerate the challenges of living (and growing up and raising children) in what he (rightly) calls a hyper-sexualized culture.

Fr. Kilcawley studied at the JPII Institute for Marriage and Family and has certification as a Pastoral Sexual Addiction Practitioner from the International Institute for Trauma and addictions professionals. His presentation to parents will be Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. in the Lansing Catholic HS auditorium. The title of his talk that evening will be “Living the Gospel of the Family.” 

Pope Benedict XVI once wrote, “In our times as in times past, the eclipse of God, the spread of ideologies contrary to the family and the degradation of sexual ethics are connects. And just as the eclipse of God and the crisis of the family are linked, so the new evangelization is inseparable from the Christian family.” In this talk Fr Kilcawley will unpack these words from Pope Benedict and provide tools and insight to help parents in their role as leaders of the domestic Church in the midst of the hyper-sexualized culture.
