SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH?
Where are you seeking it?
WHY CATHOLIC? Small Groups build bonds of friendship grounded in the Catholic Faith, and offer an opportunity to study with others the teachings and practices of the Church, by studying THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. We deepen our love for Christ and for one another. Our faith strengthens as our knowledge of it grows. Come, follow Him and join us.

WHY CATHOLIC? helps us to better understand our God, ourselves, and our faith...
From the CATECHISM ...paragraph 158:
" 'Faith seeks understanding'. It is intrinsic to faith that a believer desires to know better the One in whom he has put his faith and to understand better what He has revealed; a more penetrating knowledge will in turn call forth a greater faith, increasingly set afire by love. ... In the words of St. Augustine, "I believe, in order to understand; and I understand, the better to believe."
