Adult Study Topic– New Evangelization Know the Faith. Share the faith.

The Catholic Faith is not about myths or legends, symbols or literary devices. It’s about an encounter so overwhelming that you want to tell the whole world. It is an encounter with Jesus Christ. Throughout history the call of Christ has sent people to the corners of the earth with a message of great joy, a message that has built civilizations, inspired cultures, and even sent some to prisons and to their graves. We have the same call - that’s the New Evangelization. Join us for seven consecutive Wednesday evenings beginning on March 30th as we explore Bishop Barron’s documentary series. Sessions will take place in the church basement, following the evening meal, from 6:30-8pm. A $15 donation is appreciated to cover the cost of individual packets. Please contact Doug Nagel at 765-337-1163, Cathy Hanna at 219-866-3721, or the church office at 866-5351 for more information and/or to reserve your spot today! In order to secure your packet, please enroll by March 16th. After celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord this Easter, let us aspire to expand our hearts, enlarge our souls, and enrich our minds!
