Book 2 - The Celebration of the Christian Mystery: The Sacraments


The Celebration of the Christian Mystery:
The Sacraments

(12 Sessions)
It’s fall again, and we’re getting ready for another season of Why Catholic? This year, we’ll be exploring how God shows his love for us through the Liturgy and the Sacraments. You may have learned something in grade school or PSR, but do you really have an adult appreciation for how God reveals himself to us?

Whether you participated last year or not, please join us as we continue our journey through the Catechism. We’ll be having signups the weekends of Sept. 18-19 and Sept. 25- 26. Then we’ll be meeting one night a week to grow in our Faith as we explore the below topics.

Please contact Deacon Matt McLaughlin at 202-0233, Gary Micka at 337-0131, or Chad Lewis at 465-3654 with any questions. Or you can email whycatholic@stpatsrolla.org.

Topics for the fall session and spring sessions, correspond to Part Two of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and Part Two of the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.
