Apologetics:: Defending the Faith

You've been there-- you're in a movie theatre or on your couch watching TV with a friend and somebody takes a cheapshot at the Catholic Church. Your friend knows you're Catholic and looks at you... and you know there's something wrong but you don't know exactly how to explain it. If you to stand by the Church in ignorance you look foolish. But you feel somehow like laughing along with the joke isn't quite right either...

Learn to defend your faith.

  • Q&A    

    Come with your questions about faith life and culture-- and hear real honest Church teaching in response. Anything goes-- whatever you’ve always wanted to know or failed to understand.

    Monday, Nov 21st

    Wednesday, Feb 15th

  • Coffee Talk           Last Fridays, 7-8pm

    Open forum in a small group setting for discussing and learning defenses of the faith around hot topics and critical questions. Last Fridays of the month, 7-8pm @ Starbucks.

  • 100 Things Every Catholic Teen Should Know by Mark Hart

    Read any 10 topics in this book. (Extra copies are available in the Life Teen Lounge, on the black bookshelf right inside the door. You should've received one of these at the beginning of the year-- it is yours to keep.) 

    Write a reflection on...

    • what you learned that you hadn't thought about before
    • what you have questions about
    • and what you find most difficult to accept.

    These should NOT be like study notes or simply regurgitating the content read, but a spiritual reflection on how you connected with the material.

"There are not 100 people in the world who hate Catholicism but there are thousands who hate what they mistakenly believe Catholicism to be." 

-Archbishop Fulton Sheen
