The Faith Explained Conference
Saturday, March 27, 2010, 9:00am-3:00pm at
St. Justin Martyr Parish
"What is Truth?"
Join us for a one-day conference at Saint Justin's that you'll never forget, from our friends at
The Faith Explained Seminars (
www.thefaithexplained.com).
We will explore the concept of
relativism, so pervasive in our society today, which claims that truth does not exist, and that there is no one system of belief superior to any other. How do we as Catholics respond, who follow Jesus as "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6)? Speakers include Cale Clarke, Director of The Faith Explained Seminars, Dr. Leslie Tomory of the University of Toronto, and Anthony Schratz, director of Ernescliff College at the University of Toronto.

brochure of the conference.
For more information contact Cale Clarke at 905-479-2463 x 34.
