Knowledge of the truth brings true freedom.

How do we come to know God? It isn’t enough simply to know about Him; God wants us to know Him, intimately. We can spend a lifetime learning to truly know another person and never know all there is to know; how much more the infinite God? God reveals Himself to us in Christ, who is the Word of God. That Word speaks to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as recorded in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition, stewarded faithfully and guarded through the ages by the Magisterium. As the Lord reveals Himself to us, we are challenged to grow in faith and become the saints He has created us to be, living out lives of true freedom, peace, and joy, regardless of our circumstances. This journey is often referred to as ongoing conversion.

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” But not everyone has heeded the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what was heard from us?” Thus faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ.

Romans 10:13-17

Religious education ideally begins when we are children, but it is never too late to start. At our parishes, we offer Religious Education classes for children, youth, and adults. There are groups for people new to faith, those who have been walking with the Lord for decades, and everything in between. From stunning video presentations to intimate small groups, the Faith is shared in diverse settings, with a variety of fellow sojourners, and through a host of formats.
