Catholics To Meet To ‘Keep Hope Alive’ n Saturday, March 20 the Southwest Florida Catholic OAssembly, organized by faith- ful Catholics of the Diocese of Venice, will host the second annual confer- ence at St. Andrew United Church of Christ, 6908 Beneva Road, Sarasota. Guest speaker, Dr. Anthony Padovano, renowned theologian, author and speak- er, will address concerns of the laity who mourn the loss of renewal and expecta- tion promised by Vatican II and now under threat by a traditional hierarchy. The conference will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The registration fee of $25 includes a continental breakfast, lunch and beverage. Scholarships are available. Catholics devoted to the church were energized by Vatican II with the release of rigid, outdated strictures of the past Mass was celebrated in their own language, other faiths were welcomed as partners, ministries were expanded to the poor and disadvantaged and altar girls and women readers were introduced. This opened their minds to endless possibili- ties. Catholics were told they had rights and responsibilities and were encouraged to move forward with the changes of Vatican II. Gradually, what they gained was withdrawn as the traditionalist hierarchy retrenched back to pre-Vatican II practic- es. Only speakers who preach party line are allowed to speak. Groups who lean toward more liberal views are forbidden to assemble on church property.

This wild farce with mistaken identities, twists of fate and hilarious comic lines will make you think twice before trying to put one past the IRS. Love, Sex and the IRS is the story of two men, Jon and Leslie, who are out of work musicians rooming together in New Brendan Cataldo, Sean Riley and Rick Sebastian York City. Jon is an accountant so he handles filing their taxes every year and figures he could save a lot of money if he and Leslie were married. The day of reckoning comes when the IRS informs the “couple” they’re going to be investigated. With the help of Jon’s fiancée, Leslie dresses as a woman, which makes things confusing when Jon’s mother drops by to meet his new fiancée. The Off Broadway Palm Theatre is an intimate 90-seat general admission theater located in the main lobby of Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. No seat is further than 25 feet away from the stage. Performances are Tuesday through Sunday evenings with selected matinees. Ticket prices are $25 to $45. For tickets call 278-4422, log onto www.BroadwayPalm.com or by stop at the box office at 1380 Colonial Boulevard.

And Ueven if you do, it’s a long haul in the average boat. But now you can make the trip in about one and a half hours aboard the Sanibel Thriller, a beautiful, new, fast, safe, diesel powered 55-foot motor yacht. It’s the best way to complete your The Sanibel Thriller being chased by dolphins island experience and get the true feeling of our beautiful islands and their unspoiled beaches. This supercatamaran with twin 440 hp Yanmar engines can hold up to 43 passengers. It’s piloted by a USCG-licensed Merchant Marine officer. It’s a smooth ride, I’m told, and you’re unlikely to get wet except on really windy days. You will cruise the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Pine Island Sound, circling Sanibel and Captiva. It’s a narrated tour and the bonus is that dolphins seem to like the sound of the engines and will follow in its wake. So take your cameras and sunscreen and get ready to be thrilled. Price is $38 for adults, $25 for children age three to 12. The Sanibel Thriller also offers a trip to Boca Grande, where you can go to the beaches, go shelling, shopping, have lunch, or explore.
