Faithful Questions

Overview

The Faithful Questions series is a weekly adult (teens are welcome) catechesis program I lead. It is held every Wednesday in the Morris Hall. It’s goal is to help Catholics grow in their faith by discussing important topics and by studying the Bible and Catechism (in the future).

Format – different each week of the month

  • 1st Weds of the month:  Format will be similar to the traditional Faithful Questions… a talk given by me about an important topic of the faith
  • 2nd Weds of the month:  Adult bible study
  • 3rd Weds of the month: Discussion group of topics affecting Catholic families (different from 1st in that it’s not my thoughts but for the group to talk about their collective thoughts/ideas)
  • 4th Weds of the month: Adult bible study
  • If there’s a 5th Weds: TBD on a month by month basis
