The
apostolate, through which the laity build up the Church,
sanctify the world and get it to live in Christ can take on many
forms. A special form of the individual apostolate is the
witness
of a whole lay life issuing from faith, hope and
charity; it is a
sign very much in keeping with our times, and a
manifestation
of Christ living in his faithful."
--Second Vatican
Council,
Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity
(1965), #16.

Opportunities for Faith Formation
and Spiritual Growth
"Why Believe?"
This four-part program
will examine fundamental questions like what faith is and what
it is not, the relationship between faith, reason, science, and
superstition, and the characteristics of a mature adult faith.
It is designed for anyone, life-long believers and skeptics
alike, who sometimes wonder if it makes sense to be a believer
in today's world.
Sessions offered on a day and time chosen by the participants.
