Exploring Your Faith
"The Church needs a well-educated, inquiring,
and vocal laity if the new evangelisation is to achieve its full potential."
Called and Gifted for the Third Millennium, USCCB,
1995
- Do you want to explore what you believe in?
- Do you want to explore why you believe it?
- Do you want to explore a closer relationship with God?
- Do you have searching questions about a deeper meaning and purpose in your life?
- Does the world you see around you inspire you to seek God or does it lead you to question God's presence?
