Dead Theologians Society

I probably have not mentioned this yet, but I'm a Catholic. One of the convents in my area has started a Dead Theologians Society group. I just call it DTS for short. Well, it's a really great group and we have super awesome meetings. First thing we do is we play a game. Based on the weather and what we have, it will either be Ultimate Frisbee, Floor Hockey, or Mat Ball. I don't like play Floor Hockey, since I always seem to get injured. During the games, we're kinda relaxed. We talk to people you haven't seen in a month. For me, I could talk to my teachers outside of school and on a more personal level. After our game, we go to the basement of the Cathedral and eat. We sit in groups of 5 or 6, causing us to split into "family groups." My family group is made up of boys who like science fiction and, get this, reading (sorry Ben, Carl, and Cameron, but not a lot of guys that I know read). After dinner, we go to the fireside room. We go through the tunnels and follow the candle path. Yes, there are candles that light our path. When we get to the fireside room, it's lit up with candles. Lots of candles. Normally, that's the only light. However, our meetings in the fall and spring months are a little brighter at the beginning. We discuss the questions that we asked at the last meeting, then we start our meeting. Sr. Magdalena tells us the beginning life of a saint. We're mentally trying to guess which saint it is. After a while, she reveals the saint. She tells us more of their life, like how they died and the miracles that lead to their beatification. At the end, we can ask questions about the saint. After all the questions are done, we all pray together. We can ask for prayer intentions, and then we all pray for sinners and the souls in Purgatory. Afterwards, we have until 8 to talk more and say our good-byes. Normally, that leaves us 10 minutes. I love these meetings! If you live in the Diocese of New Ulm, you should come to one of the meetings. Comment for more information!
