January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

Here is one main reason people choose to be (and remain) Catholic:

Jesus founded a Church, not just a book.

Catholics believe Jesus established a visible Church, built on the apostles, with Peter as its head (Matthew 16:18). The Catholic Church traces its leadership and teaching authority directly back to them through apostolic succession.

This means the faith isn’t reinvented every generation—it’s handed on.

What are some ways I can help my family and friends love Jesus more deeply?

Practice Forgiveness
Model forgiveness when you are wronged, and extend grace, mercy and patience in your interactions.

People learn more from what you do than what you say. Let them see that Jesus is your top priority, especially during challenging times.

Talk about Jesus —
Make Jesus a part of everyday conversations.

Foster Godly Friendships —
Surround yourself with people who might want to strengthen their walk with Jesus.
