Discover the Amazing Riches of the Catholic Faith
What is the Catholic Church all about? What does it mean to be Catholic? What do Catholics actually believe? The Catholic Church is extraordinary. Founded by Christ himself, the Catholic Church is where we encounter God in his Word, his sacraments, and his saints. The Church faithfully proclaims the fullness of faith, leaving no truth out. It proclaims the fullness of life, leaving no person out. It calls all to repent and to believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the source of all life and salvation. Maybe you’ve been Catholic your entire life. Maybe you’re just beginning to explore the Catholic Faith. Wherever you may be in your journey, you will be profoundly moved by the beauty and the richness of the Catholic Church. Join other curious women of the parish for 10 Sessions, 30-Minute Videos, following a bible study from Ascension Press called What We Believe: The Beauty of the Catholic Faith. Women’s Bible Study will begin their new fall session on Tuesday, September 13, 2022. We will start with Mass at 8:15am then move to the St Joseph Room for a short 30 minute video with large group and small group discussions after the video. We plan to end around 10:30a.m. Come for faith sharing and fellowship with women of the parish. No experience necessary! If you would like to sign up visit www.ascensionpress.com and order your study book, book and online access for approximately $30. Please contact Jennifer Heiman at jenheiman7@gmail.com or (913) 832-8879 for more information. Looking forward to sharing in our faith journey together!
