Catechism in a Year!

Looking for a "New Year's Resolution" to strengthen your faith?
On January 1, 2023, join the Podcast of the "Catechism in a Year" with Fr. Mike Schmitz (at your favorite podcast site). His "Bible in a Year" was wildly popular.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) lays out the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith: Why did God create us? What is the significance of the Sacraments? How can we best live out the 10 Commandments? What are the many ways we can pray?

I cannot recommend this enough! To read along one can purchase from any bookseller the most current BLUE edition of the CCC (most economic). But Ascension Press offers an imitation leather bound version. The CCC is also online for free at the Vatican Website and the American Bishop's (USCCB) website.

Try it out! You'll be pleasantly surprised. Trust me.

Last year Wednesday the Fifth week of Lent came in April. But we heard these same readings for the daily Mass. I had fun putting together this little video retelling the story of Shadrach, Meshach & Adenego, and their fidelity to the One True God.

Here's a GREAT New Year's resolution that will change your life! Read the Bible in a Year. Starting January 1st Fr. Mike Schmitz will be providing a podcast daily of -- not only reading the Scriptures -- but offering brief explanations taking only 20-25 minutes of your day. You could listen on your commute to or from work, or as you do morning exercise, or washing the dishes, OR (the best) while sitting and reading along with your bible. You can even UNDERline the parts that touch our heart.

I plan to do this, too. It's also a perfect pandemic-isolation thing to do! Sign up at this link. It will even be sent to your inbox!
