Why do "Why Catholic?"

To better understand the gift of our faith, the “Why Catholic?” process breaks apart and helps us understand what we believe as Catholics.

 

We share our faith and become more familiar with the teachings of the Church in small group communities. There are a multitude of days/times available for busy people!

What will we study?

There are 4 books to the process:

1. What We Believe as Catholics: Profession of Our Faith
2. Sacraments: The Celebration of the Christian Mystery
3. Walking with God: Life in Christ and
4. Prayer: Deepening my Experience with God

As we come to understand these key elements, we can become better witnesses for Christ.

When will it start

The Spring Session begins the week of February 3.

How do I register?

Participants from the last series are re-enrolled and do not need to re-register.

New participants can sign up in the Church Lobby after Mass January 12 & 13.

Comments from parishioners upon completing

Why Catholic Part I:

“Even though I was raised Catholic, I took much for granted and did not understand God as the author of Sacred Scripture.”

“I am glad I participated in Why Catholic. It gave me an opportunity to deepen my faith  and meet parishioners I had seen in Church but did not know.”
