Exploring the Catholic Faith

Faith exploration is a life long journey. 
Use the videos and other resources below to help guide you and encourage you.  
Take it at your own pace. 
If you need to take small steps, keep moving. 
If you want to radically make a change in your life, God bless you. 
We each have our own path to take. 
Vaya con Dios! 


We are different travelers at different places along the route,
​all headed for the same summit: Jesus Christ.


FAMILIES:
​CHURCH LIFE:
is for our younger families.  We explore the basics of our faith, including prayer, saints, holy days the liturgical year and more!

WALKING WITH THE SPIRIT: these sessions are for families of teens and adults. 

SIMPLY SCRIPTURE AND FAMILY BIBLE STUDY: to explore the readings from the weekend liturgy, including the connections between the readings and some historical context so that we can have a deeper experience of the Liturgy of the Word. Family Bible study is a little more basic than Simply Scripture.
