Random Acts of Catholics

  What could we possibly use more of in this land of beauty & abundance?  

   (How about faith?) 

     There’s no doubt we live in a bubble. Sure, it’s a stunningly beautiful bubble, with great food and impressive schools.

     But have you ever felt that residing in this rather enjoyable modern secular society makes it difficult to truly live your faith?

     Well, we have too. So we started something called Random Acts of Catholics — a fun, community-building way to activate and share our faith. And what a blessing it has been.

     Random Acts of Catholics is an apostolate of Faith, Works & Fun. We meet once a month, share faith, pray and plan an Act — something we do for others. The result so far in our first chapter in San Francisco is true Christian Community, and it is beautiful.

     If you’re interested in being a part of a chapter of RAOC at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, come to an informational meeting April 26th at 7pm in O’Brien Hall. You can also email us at RandomActsOfCatholics@gmail.com or hit our website, RandomActsOfCatholics.org.  Saint Francis of Assisi said “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.”                   

So let’s be candles, people. Right here in beautiful, abundant Marin.
