Why Catholic?

OVERVIEW:

Why Catholic?

Why Catholic? is a unique adult faith formation process solidly based on Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and updated to include citations from the newly published United States Catholic Catechism for Adults.

The benefits of Why Catholic? are many:

Fosters the goals of Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, the landmark U.S. Bishops' pastoral plan for adult faith formation.

Offers a concrete approach to help adults deepen their Catholic faith and connect its teachings to their everyday lives.
  • Thorough exploration of Catholic teaching, with direct Catechism quotes, scriptural references, and reflection questions
  • Includes 48 sessions on Catholic beliefs, sacraments, morality, and prayer (12 each year: 6 each fall, then 6 each spring.)
  • Occurs in a prayerful small community setting
