CATHOLICISM 101

How well do you know your faith? Try to answer the questions below whether you are a cradle catholic, a convert or a visitor.

• Who was the first pope?
• When does the "New Year" start for the Church?
• Can you name all the Sacraments?
• As Catholics, do we worship Mary and the saints?

These are only a sample of questions that as Catholics we should automatically know and understand. If you don't know some of the answers, don't sweat it! Stay, listen and participate in a 15-20 minute question and answer session right after the 8:30 and 11:00 Masses. Our deacons will gladly answer questions and teach some valuable lessons about our Catholic faith. All ages will benefit! Stick around and learn a little.
