Mark your calendars for Monday June 3rd at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Wenatchee as Karlo Broussard, founder and president of The Divine Child Institute for Catechetical Renewal, Inc. will be giving a presentation entitled “Bringing Down the Walls of Atheism.” In this talk, Mr. Broussard goes head to head with the modern atheistic worldview, proving it to be a contradiction by its very nature and consequently insufficient for making sense out of human existence. By way of contrast, He provides the reasonable evidence for the theistic worldview by giving proofs for God’s existence. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to reclaim sanity for the modern mind. The talk begins at 6 pm in Kuykendall Hall at St. Joseph Parish, Wenatchee, WA.
