Servants of Our Lady of Evangelization
SOLE Meeting
"Why the Church?" with Father Sylvester Tan, SJ
Description
Join us for an engaging talk hosted by Servants of Our Lady of Evangelization (SOLE). Each week, we explore questions at the intersection of faith, reason, culture, and truth—addressing common objections, clarifying Catholic teaching, and showing how the Christian worldview makes sense of reality. Whether you’re Catholic, curious, skeptical, or just asking big questions, all are welcome to listen, think, and engage in meaningful discussion.
Fr. Sylvester Tan, SJ, is a Jesuit priest and Ph.D. candidate in Systematic Theology at SMU, where he studies the relationship between the living and the dead in Protestant and Catholic theology. Fresh from speaking at SEEK 2026 in Fort Worth, Fr. Tan invites us to see the Church from a fresh perspective—not simply as an institution, but as the living communion of saints that unites heaven and earth. Rather than offering a checklist of reasons to believe, he challenges us to consider what the Church truly is and why belonging to it still matters today.
