11/15 – Elizabeth Sanville
"God's call "Right Now" - Finding your Vocations"
Location: Mexicali Grill
Elizabeth Sanville is a Senior Product Manager in NVIDIA's Automotive team, working on Autonomous (Self-Driving) Vehicles. In addition to her vocation in industry, Elizabeth is enthusiastic about sharing the message of Christ with those she meets. As a teenager in High School, Elizabeth prepared young children in Haiti to receive the Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. As a parent of two beautiful children, Elizabeth became more involved in Ministry as a Girl Scout Leader who emphasized Religious activities (1996 - 2002), Chair of the St. Lawrence Pastoral Council (2002 - 2004), Student in the Institute of Leadership in Ministry (ILM, 2004 - 2007), High School Confirmation Coordinator at St. Lawrence (2007 - 2016), and Detention (Jail) Minister in Restorative Justice at the Diocese of San Jose (2016 to present).
Elizabeth believes in living the message of Christ each and every day - at work, at home, at church, in the community - with family, friends and strangers alike. She is always surprised how much more there is to learn about our Faith, and how frail we are in our humanity. Elizabeth is eternally thankful for God's many blessings and for those who have guided and shown her the incredible example of how to discern God's calling and vocations.

11/29 – John Johnson
“Advent and the Coming of Jesus”
Location: Mexicali Grill
Advent is a time to prepare for two things: Christmas and the End of Days. While the latter may not be immediately apparent (or quite as cheery to contemplate) as the former; the Church's liturgies throughout the season of Advent are clear: Jesus is returning, and we need to be ready.
Don't miss this engaging discussion that will break open the book of Revelation in a way you've never experienced and cover all things apocalyptic: the beast, the Lamb, the woman, the dragon - Advent is an epic battle for your heart.
