    Do I know my Catholic Faith so that it shapes my thinking and my doing? This series of talks will help us keep alive our desire to encounter Him, and to make it a reality in our own life while at the same time increasing the depth of understanding our faith. The talks will cover the Catechism of the Catholic Church divided into the following sections: The Creed, The Sacraments, The Commandments and Life of Prayer.
