​Dating, Love, and the Spiritual Battle for Our Relationships

​Speaker: Ed Hopfner
Director of Marriage and Family Life - Archdiocese of San Francisco

​What does the devil have to do with dating and relationships? More than you might think.

​Join us for Called to Relationship, a candid and practical conversation about dating, relationships, marriage, and the spiritual battle for love and family.

​The devil wants to distort love, undermine relationships, and pull us away from our call to marriage and family life. How can we recognize these attacks and respond with faith, wisdom, and the teachings of the Catholic Church?

​Come hear practical advice for young adults navigating dating, discernment, relationships, and the call to love as Christ intended.

​Pre-Event Reception: 6:30–7:00 PM during check-in
