OR HOW TO BECOME CATHOLIC EVEN
WHEN YOU HAPPEN TO BE ONE
If you have recently returned to your faith, (that
could mean physically, mentally or spiritually) or
are just feeling a little inadequate in the adult faith
formation department, we invite you to come and
talk about how to become a more informed , spiri-
tual, and mature believer. Misconceptions about
the Catholic faith abound! Join into a discussion
during Lent with our priests and Faith Formation
staff on these and many other thought-provoking
issues. Identical morning and evening sessions
are available –
EVENING: MONDAY, APRIL 4 at 7:00 PM or
AFTERNOON: THURSDAY APRIL 7 at 1:00
P.M. in Knight Hall. Bring a friend!
All are welcome!

“spiritual guidance or companionship) - We have
a number of qualified spiritual directors in our
midst who are willing to engage in a process of
listening generously to the movement of the Holy
Spirit in your life. Call the Faith Formation Office

Life! What a beautiful choice!
"The taking of innocent human life is so heinous. so
horribly evil, and so absolutely opposite to the law of
Almighty God that abortion must take precedence
over every other moral issue"
