Catholicism by Fr. Robert Barron

Beginning Wednesday, January 25th St. Olaf will be offering the Catholicism Series by Fr. Robert Barron.  This is a 10 week series and will be offered on Wednesday mornings and Wednesday evenings.  The morning session will begin at 9:15 and end at 10:30 with the evening session beginning at 6:15 and ending at 7:30.  We welcome anyone interested in learning more about their Catholic faith to attend.  The faciliators for the weekly sessions are Mary Woodford on Wednesday morning and Janean Hankes on Wednesday evening.

Here is an excerpt from the website on what the series entails: "The CATHOLICISM Study Program presents the strong, ecclesial dimension of the Catholic Faith – God’s revelation through Jesus Christ and His Church. It is comprehensive and faithful." 

And from a program pilot participant: This program gets at the heart of the Catholic faith. I believe it is beneficial both to long-time Catholics who have never learned or who have forgotten why we do the things we do and why we believe the things we believe and for new Catholics or non-Catholics seeking to learn more about our faith. Its approach is intellectual, but accessible."
