TOPIC FOR OCTOBER

What can you expect to learn?

Purgatory is perhaps one of the more misunderstood doctrines by Non-Catholics and Catholics alike.  Three common objections are raised  against this doctrine:

1.  They regard that by believing in Purgatory, Catholics reject the sufficiency of Jesus’ sacrifice. 
2.  Purgatory appears to be a “second chance” for those who did not choose Jesus while on earth. 
3.  The word Purgatory is no where to be found in the Bible. 

In this session of Catholic 101 we will address each of these objections, presenting biblical evidence as well as examining the Catechism of the Catholic Church. But mostly we will learn what a gift of God’s mercy Purgatory is and how understanding this doctrine can be a great aid in living each day ( in a very intentional way) for God’s glory and out of love for others. It is also a great aid to healing grieving hearts because it gives us something concrete and effective to do with the waves of grief that threaten to overwhelm us.

    Register for Catholic 101 - October - The Joyful Pains of Purgatory & the Gift of Indulgences


​Do you wish you knew more about how Catholicism is found in Scripture? Or, why we do things differently than our Protestant friends?

Have you ever been asked a question that you couldn’t answer like:
  • Do Catholics pray to Mary?
  • Why do we confess our sins to a priest?
  • Why do we pray for the dead?

​And then, there are the tougher questions like:  
  • If God is all loving and all powerful, then why is there so much suffering in the world? ​

​Knowing the true answers to these questions matters! There are very important - life-changing - reasons for everything we believe and do as Catholics! In Catholic 101 you will learn about these things so that you can, not only grow in your relationship with Christ through His Church, but also, effectively help others do the same. 

This Series will meet 1X/month usually 4th week of the month.

Each month we will present a different topic and there will be three sessions to choose from with the same presentation each time.
