“Why Catholic?” Begins This Lent
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22. You are invited to a special program, WHY CATHOLIC? A Journey Through the Catechism, beginning the week of February 20.
This new series will provide an exploration, over the 6 weeks of Lent, of what it means to be Catholic – our core beliefs, spirituality and morality, based on Scripture, the Sacraments and the Catechism. The WHY CATHOLIC? program is being offered in many dioceses across the country as a spiritual renewal exercise, a religious education “refresher course” for adults, a wonderful way to bring our parish community closer together during Lent.
Similar to the ARISE program that was offered over the last two years in our parish, this program consists of small weekly gatherings, led by a trained parishioner, in various host homes, in the Parish Center, or in St. Joseph House. The meetings will include time for prayer and discussion. A special booklet will be provided with short readings and a few discussion questions to prepare each week. Click on WHY CATHOLIC? to learn more about this program.
This is a wonderful Lenten series designed to bring our parish community closer together. Morning and evening groups are available as follows:
- Mondays, 9:30 AM
- Tuesdays, 9:30 AM, 7:00 PM
- Wednesdays, 7:00 PM
- Thursdays, 9:30 AM
