Class Session 4/12 – Materialism and Consumption

Dear Confirmandi,

We are in the normal classroom tonight at the standard time of 6:30. Our topic is “Stuff”…as in the relentless pursuit of more stuff….the lifestyle of mindless consumption that is a critical part of our modern economy. It’s also deeply contrary to a proper Catholic way of life.

Be thinking about the “stuff” you buy, or would like to buy, or that you see your friends buy. What does that “stuff” and the desire for it say about you, your family, and the larger world you live it?

See you tonight,

Mr. and Mrs. F
