January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
What is a simple way to explain Catholicism to someone?
Catholics belong to a Christ-centered faith community that views Jesus Christ as the foundation. Catholics share Jesus’ vision and model their lives after Jesus’ example of love. Catholics are called to care for one another and to use their unique gifts and talents for the good of the community and the world.
