Saturday School of Faith:
Catholic Teaching (CT)
Catholic Teaching
is a series of one hour introductions to teaching documents, instructions,
or letters from the Pope, congregations of the curia, or bishops locally and
and from around the world. Most of the documents are short, and
are meant to underline or clarify parts of the Catholic doctrine of particluar
interest in our day. A wide variety of topics will be covered
over the year. Whenever possible, participants will be provided
with their own copies of the documents or letters under consideration.
Usually held the second Saturday of the month, 9:30-10:30 AM, in the Library.
Registration is NOT necessary. Bring your Bible.
