Public Assembly Permits are indeed required for Special Events that utilize public spaces, such as streets, greenways, public parks, and plazas. However, events contained solely on private property do not necessitate a Public Assembly Permit. If you’re planning an event in a City park, plaza, or greenway, I recommend contacting the Parks & Recreation Department to confirm availability and reserve the location before submitting the assembly permit application. Additionally, if more than 1,000 people are expected to gather or if the event is non-stationary (like a parade or walk), an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is required.

Sloth, also known as acedia, goes beyond mere physical inactivity. It’s a state of mind and heart characterized by apathy, indifference, and a lack of motivation to do what we know we should be doing. Unlike simple laziness, the sin of sloth conveys a willful refusal of the joy that comes from God’s love and even repels divine goodness. In the context of the Seven Deadly Sins, sloth represents a failure to appreciate the world around us and to fulfill our spiritual and moral obligations.
