Symbolon- The Catholic Faith Explained

“The door of faith is always open for us…

to enter through that door is to set out on a journey that lasts a lifetime.” Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

In Symbolon, we are embarking on a journey into the heart of our Catholic faith…

♦ Discover the faith ♦ Experience the mystery ♦ Become lifelong disciples of Christ

Faith formation for the entire parish—for all levels, digital, visual, on demand catechism (24/7).

Available in Spanish.

Part 1 Knowing The Faith—In these 10 sessions, participants will be led through the “big picture” of the Catholic faith, and the Creed will be their guide. This foundational study on God’s plan of salvation will prepare participants to the next 10 sessions… Part II Living The Faith—Focuses on living the faith through the sacraments and moral life.

Are you ready to be inspired? Watch the trailer at symboloncatholic.org.

Parish access code for ALL will be available in next week’s bulletin.

Join the Pastoral Council to hear an update on the state of the parish and to provide feedback on several topics of

interest.

Watch future bulletins for details!!!!

When With Jesus We Need Not Be Afraid

“Jesus does not reproach the apos-tles because they tried to save the

boat. He accused them of the lack of an attitude of faith, which caused

them to succumb to the temptation of fear or even panic. It is with this ges-

ture of sleep that He wanted to tell them, But I am with you, you should

be calm, for nothing can happen to a boat that I am in.”

Tadeusz Dajczer, The Gift of Faith, 3rd ed. (Ft. Collins, CO:IAMF, 2012), 125.
