January Explanation Station from St. John Adult Faith Formation

January Explanation Station from St. John Adult Faith Formation

The Fathers of the Church

If you aren’t familiar with the early Church Fathers, you may want to do some research on their inspiring lives. The Church Fathers were influential theologians, bishops or scholars whose writings explained key Scriptural principles in the early Church. They were not all ordained, and not all of them became saints.

But they had powerful communication skills, personal holiness and doctrinal orthodoxy, so we honor them unofficially as “fathers” for their proximity to the Apostles, their explanations of how to understand and apply Scripture, and their ability to teach the Catholic faith.

Studying the early Church Fathers has deepened the faith lives of many, even to the point of convincing non-Catholics to become Catholic.

2021 Rosary Rally

Please join the 2021 Public Square Rosary Crusade.

Our nation needs public prayer, repentance and conversion. We ask God to save America through the Rosary of His Most Holy Mother. Each year all over America, people like us gather on the Saturday closest to October 13th, when Mary appeared to the children of Fatima to publicly pray the rosary together.

Please join us in praying for our nation at noon on Saturday, October 16th.

The local Public Square Rosary Rally will take place on the SKD-St. Francis Church grounds. In case of rain, we will pray inside the church.
