WHY CATHOLIC?
SIGN UP TODAY
Have you ever been in a situation where you have been
asked about your faith and been at a loss to explain why
you believe what you believe?
Beginning in Lent 2012 our parish will participate
in
WHY CATHOLIC? Using the Catechism of the
Catholic Church, scriptural references, and reflection
questions,
WHY CATHOLIC?
covers four pillars of Catholic
faith; belief, sacraments, morality, and prayer.
WHY CATHOLIC? participants will meet in small
community on a day of the week and at a time that works
for their own schedule. For example; Lifeteen parents may
meet while the teens are at Pizza & Prayer. Parents of
school age children might opt to meet mornings while the
kids are in school. We can accommodate your schedule. For
more info, please contact Ellen McDonough at (781)
826-4303 or emcdonough@stmaryshanover.com or stop by the
Why Catholic table in the hospitality room.
