Saturdays, March 6, 13, 20
10am – 11:15am, in the parish rectory

Faithful Catholics sometimes question.
Come share yours.
* What do I believe about God?
* What can I say about the God in whom I believe?
* Do I believe in God?
* What’s the difference between belief in God and having a relationship with God?
* What difference does it make if I believe?
* Is believing in the power of love different/the same as believing in God?
