Why do you choose to be Catholic?

In the craziness of life, it doesn’t hurt to pause to discover more about yourself, your faith, and how it fits into the big picture.
Find out why other young adults choose to be Catholic; learn how faith plays a role in their journeys; and take the time to reflect on your own path.

New Small Group Series

9 STEPS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Every success in life is meaningless without joy. Joy is God’s dream for you. Heaven is called a “wedding banquet.” And Jesus’ whole mission was to share that joy with you. He said it himself. “I’ve told you these things so my joy may be in you.” Think about that. The joy of GOD in YOU. The experience of that joy eternal starts now. And it doesn’t start with a change in your circumstances but a change in you.

Join us for a free dinner and this nine week series beginning on Tuesday, February 7.

While registration is not required, it does help us plan for dinners. Space limited to 15 so register today!
