The Catholic Home Mission Appeal February 29th & March 1st

Today, over 40 % of dioceses in the United States are considered mission territories because they are unable to fund the essential pastoral work their communities need. Your support of this appeal helps ease the struggle of these dioceses. Please prayerfully consider how you can support this appeal. More information can be found at www.usccb.org/home-missions.

FIRESIDE CHATS FOR LENT with Fr. Jan Larson

How should Catholics read the Bible? How do other Christians read the Bible? What does it mean to say the Bible contains no errors? What does in mean to say the Bible is the inspired word of God? How do we determine what the Bible is supposed to mean? Why do Catholic and Protestant Bibles differ? Where is the original Bible? These and many other questions will be explored.

Thursday, March 19th, 26th and April 2nd, from 7:30 to 8:30pm.
