Father Zelonis will host the Ascension series “Foundations of Faith: A Journey Through the Catechism of the Catholic Church”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church is the definitive summary of our Catholic beliefs and practices. Drawing from the riches of Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, it highlights how our faith is rooted in the teachings of Christ and his apostles. The Catechism is an essential book for every Catholic to read and understand.
