Catholic Answers Gala 2012
http://catholicanswersgala.com/
The best kept secret in San Diego is going to come out. Catholic Answers has helped tens of millions of people—all around the world. We’ve strengthened the faith of Catholics, brought souls back to the Church, and brought converts into the Church, including people who never dreamed they would become Catholic.
We’ve answered attacks on the Church, cleared away misconceptions, and opened the eyes of those who oppose her. We’ve helped people during a crisis of faith, reassured the doubting, and answered the most pressing questions of countless others.
But despite our global reach, too many Catholics right here in our hometown of San Diego don’t know about us. That’s about to change. We’ve got big plans and we need your help to make them happen.
The secret is out. Catholic Answers is holding its first gala here in San Diego. This is going to be a very special evening. There will be a cocktail hour, a gourmet meal in a beautiful location, an exciting live auction, and entertaining speakers.
This will be your chance to meet and mingle with the personalities from Catholic Answers—as well as important guests and dignitaries.
Best of all, you will learn the inside story of Catholic Answers—and how you can help take its work here in San Diego to a whole new level. We’ve got big plans. You need to come to this important and inspiring event. Space will fill up fast, so reserve your place now.
The event takes places at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa on Saturday, September 22, 2012.

How can we offer sacrifices at Mass?
http://www.catholic.com
Catholic Answers Director of Apologetics and Evangelization Tim Staples answers a caller who asks how lay people can offer sacrifices to God if we are not priests.
Tim Staples is Director of Apologetics and Evangelization here at Catholic Answers, but he was not always Catholic. Tim was raised a Southern Baptist. Although he fell away from the faith of his childhood, Tim came back to faith in Christ during his late teen years through the witness of Christian televangelists. Soon after, Tim joined the Marine Corps.
During his four-year tour, he became involved in ministry with various Assemblies of God communities. Immediately after his tour of duty, Tim enrolled in Jimmy Swaggart Bible College and became a youth minister in an Assembly of God community. During his final year in the Marines, however, Tim met a Marine who really knew his faith and challenged Tim to study Catholicism from Catholic and historical sources. That encounter sparked a two-year search for the truth. Tim was determined to prove Catholicism wrong, but he ended up studying his way to the last place he thought he would ever end up: the Catholic Church!
He converted to Catholicism in 1988 and spent the following six years in formation for the priesthood, earning a degree in philosophy from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pennsylvania. He then studied theology on a graduate level at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland, for two years. Realizing that his calling was not to the priesthood, Tim left the seminary in 1994 and has been working in Catholic apologetics and evangelization ever since.
