Aloysius Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 itsame, luigi, and i have tonz of ideas i pitch... i'm tryin to figure out what to do with my life and all that jazz, as well as what to do for my senior project alright, so tell me what you think of the ideas i throw out here for senior projects: Altar Call-- a program designed for altar boys led by the priest to be catechized about the Mass and the priesthood, grow in their faith, and foster priestly vocations Generation orthodoX-- a group of teens who get together every week and get deeper into our faith than the regular lifeteen program at our parish goes, we'll also have tons of cool stuff to do like pool a hot tub and stuff. for my life's work: Athanasia: a small Catholic Kingdom on a private island where families can come and live a simpler life raising their kids in the Catholic Faith and living in a thriving Catholic community. simple trade economy, tight knit Catholic community : a Catholic Orphanage which seeks out women who are trying to get an abortion and offer them room, board and care for them to go through their pregnancy and give birth to their baby (their parents don't even have to know as long as we can save their baby). while the girl is there they have the option of learning about the Catholic Faith from the numerous priests and teachers we'll have there, even if they choose not to they will see the love of Christ through our deeds, and when they leave they have the option of leaving the baby there or taking it to raise themselves. We will be fully staffed with Catholic Doctors, Teachers, and basically a whole village worth of Catholics (it takes a village to raise a child ) who all live at or very near the premesis of the orphanage place. this is my newest idea, i really like it but it'll be alot of work and i'm hoping on combining it with Athanasia as well. i haven't thought of a name for this idea yet, i'm up for suggestions, but i really wanna do it. save the babies! raise 'em Catholic if the parents don't want em! I feel God calling me to lead something big for the sake of His Kingdom. These ideas could be my life's work for God. i want to do great things for God! and by His power I can do it. i need help help help, but these would all be awesome things to devote my life to. yeah yeah, i know you're all sayin luigi's just young and idealistic... but i don't think so. anyway, waht do you think of all these ideas?

gonzaga Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Athanasia sound amazing, I have been thinking the same thing. A Catholic utopia, I know we have the Vatican as a solely Catholic state, but its not really for Catholics (like us) to live in, It would be soo cool if we had something like this lol.

AfroNova No Limit Soldier Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 ahhhahahah! Luigi, I am totally in with you on the concept of Athanasia. Perhaps that could be combined with the Catholic Orphanage idea. It takes a village, right? The only thing is, we cannot forget the apostalate. We would still have to minister. I think it's a bad idea to isolate ourselves from others. We're not of this world, but we still have to love it. Maybe we could live in Athanasia & go out to work. Dude, I am totally with you on this. Maybe not so much an isolated island, but more of a tight-knit community, like if we all lived in a neighborhood or something, close to a church & school. Luigi, I am dead serious. I am planning to get married next year & have 20 kids. I've been totally thinking about this. Also, for your senior project, I love the idea about Altar Call. I mean, we have LOST the mindset of fostering vocations through altar servers. ACK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeTeamFamily Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 im a fan of the orphanage idea.....it seems like that would be a greater help to society rahter than hoarding all the Catholics on an island lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Aloysius, a pool party for that teen group is fine, but I'll say honestly that I don't think it's a good idea for teenagers to share a hot tub...much too close and intimate...

Aloysius Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 but i like my hottub i know the common connotation prevelant among the society that u get a girl in a hottub and all that bad stuff... but my friends and I have hung out in a hottub before and it was nowhere close to tempting or anything. and if we meet weekly, it's startin now and it'll be winter soon. dude, it's sooo cool to be in a hottub in the snow under the stars... i donno... i like hanging out in the hottub, i don't connect hottub with intimacy.

Philippe Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 AL! Generation orthodoX-- a group of teens who get together every week and get deeper into our faith than the regular lifeteen program at our parish goes, we'll also have tons of cool stuff to do like pool a hot tub and stuff. we do this same type of thing and its called "Going Deeper" and its exactly wat ur thinkin.
