In this group we will study the truths of our Holy Catholic Faith so that we can
be confident witnesses in our dark world, so desperately in need of God’s TRUTH.
We will delve into the major teachings of our Faith, answer questions about how
to respond to controversial issues, and strive to grow in a deeper relationship
with Our Lord, so that our light can shine more brightly to the world in our
understanding of the Faith, as well as our way of life. We must band together
now more than ever to help strengthen each other, so that no matter what comes
our way, we will, through Our Lord Jesus Christ, have the strength to
BE HIS WITNESSES
