Beginning on Tuesday evening September 10th, at 6:30pm, we will once again engage our faith and our politics in the context of the show The West Wing. Four years ago, leading up to the General Election in 2020, we engaged this same topic with the West Wing. This season, we will watch one or two of the same episodes and two new ones, as well. 

As we enter the two months leading up the General Election on Tuesday November 5th, Father Stephen is offering an entertaining and easy way to engage our faith and our politics with one of his all-time favorite TV series. While in seminary, Father Stephen, and a few of his classmates and professors, put together an adult formation project based around faith and the West Wing.

Have you ever watched the West Wing? It follows the fictional Presidency of Jed Bartlet, a devout Catholic. Throughout his presidency, President Bartlet’s role as the most powerful man in the world intersects with his deeply held religious beliefs.
