Holy Family Catholic Church

Why Catholic? “Journey Through the Catechism” is a

faith-sharing series of small group discussions designed to

help us develop a deeper understanding of our faith.

Small groups meet for 6 weeks in Lent and for another 6

weeks in the Fall to read, pray over and treasure the rich

resources of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

Everyone is invited to a mature faith by nourishing and

strengthening their calling and identity as people of faith

and as evangelizers in the model of Jesus. No matter the

length of our formal education, we need to continue to

unfold the mysteries of our Catholic faith. Since we are

called to be evangelizers as a natural part of our Catholic

life, a deeper understanding of our faith can help us in this

mission.

Group members use a four-book series based on the four

sections of the Catechism as a tool for adult faith

formation: The Profession of Faith: What We Believe;

The Celebration of the Christian Mystery: Sacraments;

Life in Christ: Walking With God; and Christian Prayer:

Deepening My Experience of God.

For those interested in facilitating discussions, the small

group leader workshop is scheduled for Saturday, January

12 from Noon – 3 pm in the Undercroft. Our small groups

will begin meeting the week of February 3.

For more information about Why Catholic? and how you

can participate as either a small group leader or a

member, contact Margie Strother at 325-4727.
