Why Catholic? Journey Through the Catechism

Why Catholic is a unique adult faith formation process solidly based on Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church.  Under the guidance of Bishop Doran, Why Catholic is offered at all parishes within the Rockford diocese. 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 question.
  • Includes 48 sessions on Catholic beliefs, sacraments, morality, and prayer.
  • Occurs in a prayerful small community setting.

 

Here at St. Thomas, a six week session of Why Catholic is offered in both the spring and fall.  The program will be completed in the fall of 2009. To sign up for the fall session, please call the Parish at 815-455-5400.
