You Are Rock: Understanding the Papacy
Presented by Justin Frato and Deacon Roger Boneno
The recent election of Pope Leo XIV offers an opportunity to explore the role of the papacy in the church. After looking at the foundations in Scripture and Tradition of this office, this course will survey the Holy Fathers since the Second Vatican Council to discover what unites the popes and what makes each one unique.
Do Catholics "worship" Mary? Is it appropriate to honor her? If yes, how can we do so? This short course will explore Catholic teachings and traditions about our Blessed Mother.
A Wellspring of Living Water: 1700 Years of the Nicene Creed
Presented by Dr. Christine Hernandez
Learn more about the enduring belief and transformative power of the Nicene Creed, which celebrates 1700 years since its promulgation. We profess the Nicene Creed at Mass, but do we know what we profess, and can we more deeply engage with what we believe? Join us for a three-session course to explore the history and meaning of the Creed and how it impacts our lives today.
