  • Be discerning believers better formed in the faith of the Catholic Church so to examine and engage issues relevant to our daily lives and the world.
  • Have a better understanding of the Gospel message, the major components of our
    Christian faith, and the social teachings of the Church.
  • Sharpen the skills needed to promote faith development and spiritual growth.
