Wednesday evening CAFE for the next ten weeks will be on the topic of “Knowing the Faith”. Too often we try to live a faith we don’t know or understand. Some of us stumble along with it, going through the motions. Others simply walk away. That is why the time is right for Symbolon: Knowing the Faith. This ten session series is presented by Dr. Edward Sri and some the most trusted and compelling Catholic teachers and filmed around the world with stunning cinematography. This series explains the essentials of the Catholic Faith in a way that will inform our minds and inspire our hearts. Please join us beginning Wednesday, Jan 16th at 6:30 PM in the Office Conference Room.

“New Dimensions” is a course for adults who are eager to go to new levels of understanding the various mysteries of our faith. The second semester begins on January 10 & will treat four mysteries of Jesus. During Lent the participants will study Bishop Barron and then return for another series with Dr. Pitre after Easter. New Dimensions is offered in the Education Building every Thursday morning after the 9am Mass. All are welcome. You will enjoy growing in your faith.

New Series starting November 29, 2018.
