The Creed: We Believe, I Believe

The Faith Professed

10 week series

From the earliest times of Christianity, faithful Christian people have confessed and prayed the Creed. Every Sunday in our Eucharistic celebration, after hearing the Word of the Lord, we respond with a profession of what we believe. This belief is

contained in what we call the Nicene Creed. Even though we pray it often, we may not understand and appreciate the profound significance and meaning of the Creed. One of the offerings of adult catechesis this year will investigate and discuss the beautiful richness and truth of the Christian faith,

embodied in this traditional confession of the Church. Please join us in delving further into understanding the Creed.

Sessions offered:

Wednesdays: 6:30pm – 8:00pm

Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23, March 2, 16,23 30, April 6,13

Cost: Class only $10.00

In the Footsteps of Jesus:
Catholics and Social Justice

Our Scriptures provide Catholics with the primary foundation for Catholic social teachings.  Scripture and the documents of our Pope and Bishops address why the Church and Catholics are called to be active in building a more just world. Our Sunday Scripture provides focused direction and emphasizes  what our work for justice should reflect.
