June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

The word “Catholic” was first used by Ignatius of Antioch around the year A.D. 110. It is from the Greek word katholikos, which means “toward the whole.” Ignatius was suggesting that the Church is a gift offered by Christ to all people. The Catholic Church is the largest single denomination in Christianity. It was the church that added modern-day chapters and verses to the Bible.
